I investigate ideas of self-portraiture through ceramic sculpture. I create forms that question and explore motherhood, identity, emotions, and personal narrative. Using familiar features from the body or personifying clay objects, I engage with compassion, understanding and connection while in search of self. The inherent expressive qualities of clay and glaze create a visual map of fingerprints and drips on the surface of my sculptures, echoing the desire to make physical the process of remembering and experiencing. Seen as a whole, my artworks form an intricate connected web, performing the nuances of family, love, attachment, and self in varying conditions.
