Artist Statement

My ceramics practice explores shared human experiences through themes of identity, imperfection, disconnection, and transformation. I use clay to process personal experiences of trauma and mental health struggles that I have often found difficult to articulate through words and rationality.

The transition from an academic career in physics to ceramics corresponded with a shift in how I understand and engage with the world and my emotions. Where my previous career demanded precision, rationality, and control, working with clay allows me to embrace intuition, uncertainty, and vulnerability.

Drawn to clay’s materiality and bodily nature, I explore the tension between fragility and resilience, control and surrender, perfection and authenticity. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by a loss of identity and meaning; other times I feel like I don’t care, or I simply don’t feel at all. Through touch, clay allows me to reconnect with myself, grounding me in the present and gradually rebuilding a sense of identity through making. Through forming, altering, breaking, and rebuilding, I give physical form to intangible emotions - a tactile process through which I make sense of my experiences.

With my work, I want to tell imperfect human stories and ask the viewer to reflect on what it means to be human in its complexity, uncertainty, and struggle.

I also have some fun in the studio, making functional ware inspired by nature and cats for art and craft markets or for commissions.
