Artist's Statement

The work that I create is utilitarian. I intend for my work to be used during its lifetime, thinking about the usability of work during the process of creation in scale vs atheistic. Thinking about the usage of the piece through every step of the process; throwing the form, handles or how to hold the piece, storage, the use of the piece, what textures, and what type of firing would generate the best outcome for the work.

My current work is a blend of the precise and playful forms in conjunction with experimental glaze and the application of said glaze.
