Creating
illusions of meaning working with the malleable and sensual
characteristics inherent in clay and other materials continues to be my
lifelong journey.
It is my intention to create geometric clay structures, reflecting
fabric-like qualities that incorporate the timelessness of stitching,
and the traditions of women's work. My formal compositions focus on the relationships between form, shape,
surface texture, and color to reflect beauty. My abstract figurative
structures work in conjunction with these extensive clay "platelets" to
create line, space, and the illusion of other materials.
I enjoy the play of metonymy in materials used, and seek to create a
balance between the forces of tension and release through form and
expression.
