My studio practice oscillates between two primary areas of making: exploration of the vessel and responding to domestic spaces through tableware. At times, these works are distinct from one another but can converge to create unique tablescapes and arrangements. Both of these bodies of work are made with the intention of creating a captivating visual experience to provide the opportunity to observe, reflect, converse, daydream, and so on. Whether it be through a playful and whimsical decorative plate as it’s passed at brunch, or via a quiet and subtle form paired with a minimal drawing that requires a viewer to spend time away from the busyness of life. It is my intention that a relationship begins to establish itself between all viewers and users who engage with my work to highlight the value in slowing time and appreciation of our surrounding(s).
