Keeping Form

Date.

2026

Materials & Technique.

Terracotta, porcelain

Description.

This work explores the tension between order and balance. Three separate ceramic forms are arranged in a Z-like structure, each relying on the others to remain upright. Repeated patterns and precise geometry create a sense of order, while the shifting composition holds a quiet sense of instability. At its center, a detachable turquoise form introduces another element of uncertainty - even the apparent core remains independent.

Anxiety

Date.

2025

Materials & Technique.

Stoneware clay, glaze (2), Routile wash.
Technique: Clay slabs, free hand

Description.

This sculpture serves as a visceral totem for the anxious mind, capturing the hypervigilance of intrusive thoughts through its defensive, jagged architecture. Yet, the piece refuses to be purely tragic; vibrant turquoise pools nestled within the weathered texture represent reservoirs of awareness, illustrating that distress can hold the very nectar of mindfulness. These vibrant elements, paired with energetic golden veins, suggest that discomfort is not an obstacle, but a driving force and a catalyst for profound transformation.

Materials & Technique.

Stoneware clay (black) & Porcelain (lagoon),
original glaze, copper oxide wash.
2 separate bodies (lid detachable).
Clay slabs, built by hand. Fired to 1210°.

25W x 8L x 85H (cm)

Description.

This totem-like sculpture commands presence through its deliberate, architectural tiers, yet its true strength lies in the rejection of over-refinement. In the central, mint-green vessel, the smooth surface is intentionally interrupted by rough, decisive carvings, marks left entirely exposed to celebrate the hand of the maker. By embracing these "loose ends" rather than hiding them, the work creates a striking tension between a rigid, symmetrical framework and the intuitive freedom of the unfinished.

Materials & Technique.

Porcelain (lagoon), original glazes, copper carbonate was.
Clay slabs, built by hand. Fired to 1210°.

21W x 9L x 62H (cm)

Description.

Surge represents a deliberate departure from a familiar, calm palette to release a reservoir of stored-up internal energy. Built intuitively without a conscious blueprint, the sculpture functions as a regal conduit. Highly structured on the outside, yet teeming with intense, repeated textures pushing through its armor. Crowned with an open dish, the piece stands as a receptor, grounded in a vibrant landscape of fiery oranges and soft lavenders, capturing a sudden and necessary shift in frequency.

Description.

Created as a memoir for my dog, Shiny, who was my closest companion of sixteen years, Noble Beast translates a profound bond of mutual respect and intuitive love into a permanent, totemic form. The sculpture’s posture is elegant and proud, reflecting her nobility of spirit and a deep, ancestral intelligence. At its crown, a radiant, turquoise wheel sits balanced within a carved architectural frame - operating as a symbol of alignment, shared frequencies, and a luminous, lifelong friendship. It stands not as a monument to loss, but as an enduring celebration of a guardian spirit.
