Abstract

The ceramic sculptures included in Wave to the Trees allude to familiar objects, landscape, and the human figure in response to historical and contemporary perceptions of values and beauty. The forms are anthropomorphized and indicative of how I choose to perceive my environment through fantasy. Inanimate objects are personified to draw nearer to the feelings, emotions, and inspirations that conjured the compositions. The resulting sculptures are entirely subjective, lending themselves to projections and interpretations. The work is all about being personal.
