The fundamental drive behind my creation of utilitarian objects is a desire to found meaningful connections that celebrate and enrich the eccentricities of daily life. These objects engage the user with an ability to enrich routine consumption and to engender conversations about love, life, happiness, and desperation. I make work about close personal relationships, romantic or otherwise.

My work is informed by experience and utilizes the expressive potential of porcelain to present a patently honest interpretation of passive observations and some past memories. My creative process draws heavily from personal narrative. Although functional considerations and securely proud illustrations, facilitate some amount of carefree celebration—dangerously cynical ghosts may frequently lurk in the liminal area between the images gouged into buttery clay and the thin veil of glaze formulated to keep them captive.

These objects pander to a stilted view of real life, where things are neither as positive or as negative, nor nearly as important as they seem. They validate an ambiguous morality, or rather, make pertinent those moments in which morality hardly applies: a drink of water, a kiss, an empty gaze, a book lost before completion.
