I am a ceramicist 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.
Much of my inspiration comes from science fiction media, particularly the work of Octavia E. Butler and her exploration of flawed interspecies symbiosis.
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 functional 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.
