i combine a range of wheelthrowing and handbuilding techniques to create quietly curved, occasionally complex, generally classical ceramic forms with deep, weathered surfaces as a reflection on the south florida and the rapid changes affecting our region and its people.

my pots are meditations on curvilinear forms, ornate entrance ways, the glaring presence of TIME and LABOR and INTENTION hidden in stucco landscape. soft colored clay slip highlights pockets of texture, mottled by algae, grime and salty air. surfaces are incised to resemble windows and doorways leading to hundred year old rooms. within simple forms lies a recollection of past lives, housed in small, unassuming buildings.

closer look reveals delicate impressions of the human experience, melded with the temporal nature of ceramic material. eventually, the work will chip, or crack, or break; collective memory demolished, cleared away, and set for redevelopment.
