Emphasizing opposing ideas of gradual growth and weathering, my works often present a slow storyline along an almost tectonically scaled timeline -one of quiet, humble, and earnest growth. My interest lies in the preservation of loss as stark weight, mass, and their sculptural convergence into furniture.

Methods of stacking convey the timeline of their build and development that have been calcified in a moment. I use ceramic, glass, and hydrostone, not in contrast to one another, but rather as tonal shifts, fading in and out, that give subtle oscillations and solidity in their presence, investigating to what extent does something exist.

I think a lot topographically about things like mesas and salt flats. Places where patterns and rhythms exist to create gradual changes over a long period of time. With movements and changes being gradual, time is drawn out and experience is elongated into mundane repetition. Land and body merge. Space and touch entangle. Physical weight is present, removed, pushed, and compressed - loss pulls a part of myself away and out of my body. Time folds in on itself. It is this uncertainty in beginning, middle and end that intrigues me, creating a sense of “un-placeability". I examine how absence can take up space, what it means to physically choose to live with weight in a way of gentle quiet function and daily interaction, and what it looks like when ideas of weight and loss become land-like companions in our intimate domestic landscapes.
