I’ve been working with stoneware pottery for ~4 years now and I still lose my mind every time i get to play with wet clay or open a kiln. My practice revolves around an endless obsession with femininity in all its imagery and manifestations. I look at the work of Ana Mendieta, Mel Arsenault, Miki Kim, Ida Lissner, Hito Steyerl, Latika Nehra, Lisa Meinesz and want to swallow it all whole. I look at their works and tumble into fixations with the forms of insects, spines, flowers, shells, swans, stamen, teeth, rings, rocks, of celestial and cellular bodies. And then I sit down with clay and hope to translate even just one of these things. In the studio, at Tafe or Clayground, you can ask anyone and they’ll share every process, story, clay type, glaze combination with you; clay communities can be so beautiful. Pottery has always been something I do for pure delight. I always hope that this delight follows the pieces i make to the places they go.
