work is an internal look at the preeminent issues of being bound to
another and the effects it has on individuals. In the struggle of trust
and loyalty love is present and a greater understanding of friendship is
found. Connectedness and the inner struggle to stay honest to myself
and to my loved ones is significant in my work. In the confines of a
conscientious head and heart, strength and integrity are born and
encourage continuity.
work figuratively creating characters based on the struggle of
balancing relationships, placing them in an open narrative where they
can revisit emotions experienced but not quite understood. Striving to
weave a web of connectedness based on internal reflections of my
relationships to the world around me
visual storytelling and the art of songwriting play a large role in my
inspiration to create due to storytelling’s ability to allow an endless
yet controlled method of delivering feelings and emotions. The medium is
the apparatus; a means to an end. It is the vehicle which conveys
individual temperaments via storytelling.
with clay lends to the idea of creation in and of itself. It gives the
opportunity to be more connected with the work. Pinching, coiling, and
slab building, I move the earth between my hands until a form starts to
take shape, changing with every movement of my fingers. As I watch it
go through the stages of drying i ponder it’s creation before I put them
through temperatures that a human could not withstand. Using oxides,
slips, underglazes and glazes I treat the surface in a painterly fashion
with brushes and washes before putting it through a series of firings.
Firing them again and again until the surface becomes rich and desirable
and the piece can speak for itself. Striving to provide a sympathetic
relation to narrative in the restlessness of living in one’s head space,
a sickness through which ideas are made.
