By allowing my material to guide me as a maker, the clay pushes for new and exciting possibilities that might have gone unnoticed. Pottery is naturally beautiful and that formal tactility is why I enjoy this material so much. I work mainly on the wheel, using this wonderful tool to stretch and form the clay into a hollow volume, from there I push the boundaries of traditional set aesthetics by celebrating the unique imperfections of the me [the makers] hands through fingerprints and the evidence of human element through asymmetry. Through working the with the wheel as a tool and embrace the evidence of my hands I have found extreme satisfaction from clay.born digitalStudent worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
