Artist's Statement

This body of work examines notions of physical and emotional death. These ideas are explored in moderately sized porcelain works decorated with colored porcelain slips and glazes. The figurative works are covered with painted and drawn imagery and/or surrounded by sculpted natural environments. These described elements of landscape are so immersive they camouflage the figures, making the two aspects completely intertwined, dissolving the boundaries between material and ethereal. Landscape is used as both a setting and metaphor to describe the complexity of life and the physicality of death.
