My artwork has always addressed the ideas of time, mortality and disintegration. These themes, at once very personal to me, are universal. I address the duplicity of my themes and my choice of working with a permanent material such as clay by using non-traditional glazes that give the finished pieces the appearance of being eroded by time. Notions about the progression of time are further reinforced by my impulse to work in series and employ obsessive and sometimes excessive repetition. The capability of the mortal body continues to heavily inspire my work.
