I draw inspiration from the fluctuant moods and seasons of the human experience. I'm fascinated by the ways in which we express (and repress) our emotional experiences, and my work has been both an outlet and mirror for my own mental health, allowing me to more deeply explore and process emotional ups and downs as they come. My work is hand-pinched using primarily mid-range porcelain, and I find a lot of comfort in the slow, iterative and meditative nature of pinching. In my decorating, I enjoy playing with contrast between dark and light, precision and looseness, simplicity and chaos. Decorating this way also feels like a mirror for the ways in which the human experience can feel dual, contradictory and paradoxical. One vessel can hold many dualities, the same way we can hold both joy and grief, pain and pleasure, love and fear, all in one body.
