Growing up in º£½ÇÉçÇø, I developed a strained relationship with hunting. In particular taxidermy and how it can be made into living art. The focus of my ceramics is on creating sculptural animal pieces. By adding unique mythological elements inspired by folklore, while also using clay building methods that humanize these creatures. Life is given back to these characters.
The potter’s wheel has aided humankind in efficiently creating utilitarian vessels for
thousands of years. For civilization to thrive, these vessels contained esscentials such as grain, water and oil. As an artist, I seek to use this tool to create vessels that will carry another one of civilization’s essential elements: stories.
