Artist Statement
I am a ceramicist and fiber artist in Detroit, Michigan creating play-driven work. My process is guided by sensation and surprise-seeking. I am interested in creating miniaturized structures that evoke topography and naturalized manmade environments.

We are all engaged in an existential power struggle with our own consumption. I am intrigued by imagining a world where we are indebted to an inherent aliveness of our possessions. 

How would we live if every object in our lives demanded from us care, nourishment, a piece of our flesh? Can we give it freely? 

I hope my objects, and the people who use them, are embedded with a sense of interdependence, earnestness and ritual—the same feelings gifted to me by the ceramics community in Detroit.
