Artist Statement

The nature of my art practice is rooted in observation, curiosity, and connection. It is both a reflective process and a communicative one—an exploration of how material, form, and surface can express the relationships that exist within the natural world and between living systems.

​

My primary concern is the investigation of ecology and interdependence, particularly the symbiotic relationships between plants, animals, and their environments. Working in clay, I move between functional and sculptural forms, using the vessel as a central mode of expression. The vessel serves as a site where utility, metaphor, and material converge.

​

I am drawn to the vessel for its capacity to embody connection and exchange. Like ecological systems, vessels hold, contain, and sustain, reflecting cycles of growth, support, and transformation. Through clay, I seek to create objects that invite contemplation of the unseen networks that bind us to the natural world.
