I make ceramic human and animal figures with a psychological stance. I use collage and doodling to invite a personal narrative to bubble up from the unconscious find form in clay and eventually find understanding through writing and reflection. Encoded shapes surfaces color and facial expression suggest the subtleties and contradictions of what lies within. This is delivered with dash of humor. I coil-build with sculpture clay fired to mid-range temperatures. Surface treatments include slips oxides stains glazes and other materials. The pieces have a handmade quality that reflects my desire to make them accessible to the viewer.
