Through clay, I explore the intricate dance of form, space, and color. Each piece is an exploration, much like Alice's journey down the rabbit hole—where the deeper you go, the more there is to discover. Clay offers me a medium to challenge perception, where colors create illusions and blur the lines of form, leading the mind to question and rethink what it sees. Though harmony is often key in my work, there are moments when I intentionally break it to provoke thought and spark curiosity. This process, for me, is a rediscovery of self, an invitation for both creator and viewer to step outside their comfort zone.
Nature deeply informs my creative process. Textures and shapes inspire me, from the silhouette of a tree against the sky to the smooth curve of a seashell discovered on the beach. I am drawn to the beauty in what often goes unnoticed—the organic shape of a stone or the fine details found in petals. Gardening, too, feeds my creativity, allowing me to interact with nature on an intimate level as I cultivate plants and flowers. In my work, I aim for viewers to feel a tactile connection, encouraging them to touch, interact, and engage with the material. Ceramics reminds me that everything is in flux, and through this constant change, I find freedom, healing, and expression.
