About the Item
"My work explores the nature of relationships through the animal forms and environment, as well as folkloric references. The animals are the metaphor for our own needs; the need to copulate, pro-create, isolate, create familial relationships and be triumphant. The folkloric references are also a way to investigate family histories and legends.
The materials I use are an important part of my process. I mainly use porcelain and terra cotta for the ceramic components because I think the surfaces are seductive and challenging. The nature of these two clay bodies can be finicky and paradoxical just like us, but when they are coaxed along they allow the palate to be pure like porcelain or earthy red clay bodies. The gold lusters give value to the form through surface, intent and the symbolic importance of both gold and silver."
