Short Statement

I investigate Post-Traumatic Growth by focusing on the dichotomous theme of growth and destruction. PTG is a theory of positive transformation that can be harnessed from life trauma. My visual vocabulary is informed by observations of the natural world, including human anatomy and vegetation. These images are integrated into my biomorphic sculptures, with focal points of meticulous detail, which are hybridized forms of botanical and anatomical elements, invoking transformative and transcendent growth.

Terracotta, multiple firings, stains, gouache, encaustic & cold wax finishes.

Short Statement

These terra cotta pillows are hand-built with ground layers applied in ceramic terra sig and stains, then multiple post-firing layers are added to the surface in a variety of mixed media. I work in series and choose the groupings as the drawings develop; the groupings create a sort of associative visual language or floating narrative.
