My ceramic sculpture represents a convergence between existing and imagined realities.   Through the use of iconographies drawn from the natural world found in our coastal environments, and subtle allusions to the human body, I create objects that suggest an esoteric existence.  They become their own biological entities with their own spirituality and provoke the experience of an independent, symbolic world.  By creating indeterminate forms, I hope to empower the objects with new, unpredictable functions and relationships.
