My work speaks to the moral imperative in exploring the interconnectivity of humanity and nature. Drawing heavily on the tradition of French phenomenology and Japanese Shinto and Zen philosophy, my ceramic sculpture and installations reflect the formal and conceptual nature of the experience of the individual self in a global age.
My vernacular of objects includes anatomical models, live body castings, cast-off plastic toys and objects of nostalgia. These castings, and mass produced simulacra, represent the altered landscape of individual experience and the influence of science and nature in our understanding of our distinct lives and social selves.
Perception shifts constantly in my installations between individual and repetitive design, the individual form and the larger whole, the intimate self and global being. My repetitive work-process mirrors these dualities - as singular individual forms combined with objects of mass-production are transformed through the creation of ceramic sculpture.
