ARTIST STATEMENT

There is comfort within the melancholy; there is romance within heartbreak. With my artistic practice, I am drawn to channeling the permanence of this interplay whilst creating non-functional wheel-thrown ceramic vessels and analog photographs.

My ceramic forms are calculated to serve not for function, but as elegant decorative objects. Their surfaces often contrast this refinement, incorporating rugged textures and experimental glaze chemistry that mimic decay, mold, and erosion, challenging the permanence of ceramic. I use photographs to capture the deterioration of delicate memories left behind; an attempt to preserve what inevitably fades.

My practice invites viewers to linger in discomfort and to find tenderness in deterioration.
