Artist Biography

​

​

I embrace the absurd and value the power of imagination over preconception and strict planning. In my work, I explore themes of power dynamics and the farce of authority. My artistic process is characterized by a playful, intuitive approach that invites the unexpected and takes full advantage of unhappy accidents.

​

As my subject, I work with figurative and literal archetypes on the highly activated surface of oversized, classically shaped ceramic pots. The risk and uncertainty of the firing process adds yet another layer to the already chance-laden nature of working with clay. Ultimately, I invite viewers to relax and enjoy a dose of acerbic humour without feeling the pressure of seeking deeper meaning.
