My recent work questions and explores fear and identity. Figures reveal their uncomfortable introspections, mostly unsure of their roles while reluctantly accepting associated burdens.

Clay is my chosen medium because of its dimensional honesty and tactile immediacy. I use mainly a coil/slab technique creating strength while allowing the figure to emerge accordingly. I prefer painting pieces with acrylic and powdered pigment instead of glaze. This method better accommodates my interest in subtle layering.
