My recent ceramics work is based on natural processes and raw earth materials. Experimentation is an important aspect of my studio practice and I focus on manipulating common materials using uncommon techniques. The forms are abstracted yet resemble the geological features of their origin. For example, in my Reinvented Landscape series, I included a low, continuous hum sound of the Earth.
Intensely expressive and energetic in character, my work reflects my eagerness to capture the dynamics and the mysteries of creation. My work undergoes a metamorphic process when first thrown by hand and subsequently manipulated by pushing materials in and out to get to a richness in texture, form, and visual density.
My work is the dialogue between deformation and refinement, abstraction and convention, familiarity and mystery. I interrogate these diverse positions and challenge the viewer to rethink their perception by spending time in the environment I have created.
我近期的陶瓷作品是基于自然的过程和天然的材料。我专注于用不寻常的技术处理常用的手法，进行艺术实验是我创作中的重要部分。事物的外形是抽象的，就像孕育它们的地质特征一样。例如，在我的《重塑景观》（Reinvented Landscape）系列中，我使用了一个连续的、低沉的嗡嗡声。
我的作品富有强烈的表现力和活力，反映出我对捕捉创造过程的奥秘的渴望。首先我手工将我的作品进行变形，然后通过将材料推入和推出以达到丰富的纹理、形状和密度。
我的任务就是进行变形与完善，抽象与约定俗成，熟悉与神秘之间的对话。我质问这些不同的观点并挑战观众在我创造的环境中花费时间来重新思考他们的看法。
