I'm drawn to making ceremonial ceramic objects of mysterious use: forms that sit at the edge of the familiar and the ambiguous. My work is characterized by sharp geometric angles to form the vessel’s shape, irregular surface designs achieved through the final firing process, and simple, naturalistic color schemes primarily in solid black, dull white, verdant green, and warm earth tones.

The strongest influence on my ceramics practice is Japanese aesthetics, with heavy emphasis on private, interior spaces, reverence for imperfection, and quiet reflection. In this way, I process the world through making.

Curiosity is the only emotion I ask from others when viewing my work.
