Abstract
My work is a marathon exercise in the deconstruction and adaptation of vessel aesthetics, form, function, conventions and histories. I remain alchemically adventurous by employing a wide range of materials, processes, chance and humor. Through risk, exploration, and random experimental compositions, I push against categories. Vessels are no longer made to use and sculptures operate within a size similar to pottery. In my work, the intimacy of scale alongside carefully considered surfaces and structures invites the viewer in on a visceral and optical adventure in which I provoke the senses by incorporating a cornucopia of rich and exotic theatrics.
