Exhibition Statement

Situated directly on the Puget Sound and cradled by the Olympic and Cascade mountains, Seattle lies in dynamic surroundings. This setting can have a profound effect on how we as individuals process and cope with the details of our own interconnected lives. At times, it helps to know that some things will be constant while other things change. I find comfort in this dichotomy – things both constant and reliable while at once ever-changing – mirrored in the bodies of sea and sky always present in Seattle. I seek to bring such things to attention in my porcelain sculptures and installations using water and sky as metaphors and anchors for the transitions we all face. I ask for my work to listen rather than to profess loudly, I want it to be present, stable, but dynamic like the sea and the sky.
