ARTIST’S STATEMENT

I explore the relationships between individual elements, such as shapes, lines, and spaces, considering how they interact to create visual compositions of questionable composure. Sometimes, I focus on the forms themselves and the spaces between, while other times it's about emphasizing a singular plane or line. I use traditional ceramic building methods playing with vertical and horizontal planes to separate space and time manipulating traditional pictorial landscapes.
