In using ceramics as a material focus; I am interested in the complex relationships that reinterpret and question the understanding of ways in which social environments shape us. Having engaged subjects as diverse as the factors that influence an understanding of people and their environments; my work can be seen as a system of economies in which I redefine the preconditions of material and language. Handling issues of economy, material use, and value-my process is an exchange between the execution of decisions and concessions made to the natures of the materials. Addressing these issues less in terms of form than as a kind of strategy; I decompose the subject and its parts and selectively reassemble and isolate those parts into disparate materials to articulate a precise formal language that speaks to our collective experiences, and the complex interactions therein.
