My work reflects the delicate balance between control and surrender - a dialogue between the human hand and the unpredictable forces of nature. I craft ceramic vessels that transcend their utilitarian purpose, becoming symbols of resilience, strength, and empowerment while fostering connection and reflection.

​

Themes of femininity, queerness, strength, and vulnerability - core aspects of my identity - intertwine with the universal human experience. Each piece is a meditation on resilience: the courage to create, the grace to release, and the desire to connect. Clay, with its duality of malleability and endurance, mirrors the journey of self-empowerment and transformation, embodying the interplay between fragility and strength.

 

The process of soda firing is central to my practice, capturing the balance between intention and spontaneity, tradition and transformation. Each vessel begins with deliberate craftsmanship, designed to serve and enhance everyday rituals, only to release that control in the chaotic atmosphere of the kiln. The sodium vapors leave unpredictable textures and marks that evoke the raw, untamed forces of nature. These surfaces, reminiscent of landscapes and organic forms, invite sensory engagement and remind us of our interconnectedness with the material world.

My ceramics are more than functional objects; they are anchors in the everyday, meant to be touched, held, and used. They create moments of intimacy and reflection in the spaces they inhabit, offering an opportunity to find magic in the ordinary and beauty in imperfection. Ultimately, I hope my work speaks to the subtle power of craft - the profound relationship between material, maker, and user. Each piece carries traces of my identity and experiences, yet it invites anyone to discover strength, meaning, and joy in the act of use, transforming ordinary moments into explorations of connection, history, and the transformative power of touch.
