I am not afraid to make a bowl that is not perfectly round, instead I create
pieces that feel like they evolve from one shape into another, just as in
nature. I envision walking through a woodland forest and looking down to
see new sprouts reaching for the sun, while nearby is mature growth that is
heading towards a state of decay as it cycles through its life. Sometimes my
earth pods and sprouts are "young" and round, sometimes they're "old" and
have more obscure shapes. This is what I try to represent through my work.
I often add natural elements like driftwood, dried flowers, weed pods and
sticks to my pieces, because they are so compatible with my organic forms.
I believe there's a little love of nature in all of us, and I hope my work directs
your eye to enjoy my interpretations of that which is earthy, abstract, and of
the earth.
