I love working with the expressive capacity of the human form. Inner emotions and life experiences always show in how we sit, stand and move. Bodies store these things in muscles and tissues, revealing them in posture and gesture.

Part of my work is exploration, sculpting the body as a way to delve more deeply into the human condition. I tap my own inner senses of body and feeling and flow out what I find through my arms and hands until it embodies outside myself. Other works are intentional statements about specific emotions and cause-related messages. For those pieces, I reach inside for strong and often difficult feelings, expose them in my work, and allow bottled- up places to flow.

All of my figures are ceramic, and I often pit fire them - burying and burning the pieces in sawdust in a trench, where they smolder for several days. My figures take on rich, earthy creams, grays, browns and blacks, and most often they come back to me with their expressive qualities heightened.
