Seeds, real and imagined. 2025-26

My ceramic vessels emerge from sustained attention to my home garden, where I follow plants through cycles of emergence, flowering, and decay. Through vessel-making, I treat clay as an extension of flesh, abstracting botanical forms to softly echo the body through gesture and containment. Wood firing for up to seventy-two hours extends these natural rhythms into the kiln, where fire, ash, and atmosphere act as collaborators. Marked by time, chance, and accumulation, each vessel carries the quiet imprint of transformation.

Terra Multa

Terra Multa is an exhibition of ceramic sculpture and narrative tile installations that draws upon folktale and myth to examine contemporary systems of industrialized agriculture. Once functioning as living frameworks through which humans understood their relationship to animals and the land, these narrative traditions are reimagined as tools for cultural critique. Through allegorical and hybrid forms, the work considers how modern food production—particularly industrialized animal husbandry—has reshaped ecological balance and deepened human disconnection from the natural world.

Set within a speculative dystopian future where traditional livestock practices are no longer viable, Terra Multa constructs an original fairytale that reflects both consequence and adaptation. Through clay as a historically resonant medium, the exhibition positions story as a means of reexamining ethics, care, and interdependence.
