Artist Statement

 

Clay is a medium that continually challenges and expands my practice, pushing me to explore new forms and possibilities. Inspired by nature, my work reflects the shifting rhythms of life through sculptural forms that embody movement, energy, and direction.

I strive to create clean, organic shapes that balance precision with spontaneity. Using a combination of wheel throwing and hand-building, I construct forms that twist, fold, and flow, capturing a sense of motion within stillness. Porcelain and mid-fire stoneware allow me to achieve surfaces and structures that enhance both delicacy and strength.

I view each piece as part of a dialogue—an open conversation between artist and viewer. The layered complexity of my work invites multiple interpretations, encouraging engagement and personal connection. My goal is to create sculptures that are both visually compelling and conceptually resonant, offering a dynamic experience in any setting.
