Artists Statement
My intent is to produce art accessible to all types of audiences, using ceramics as my vehicle for exercising the elements of design. Using contemporary and simple forms I attempt to allure an audience by employing an easy aesthetic to understand. Design is now front and center stage with most of the materials in our lives. From computers to furniture, technology is now at a point where function does not have to be sacrificed or compromised for aesthetic pleasure.
In my work I experiment with differing levels of function, always increasing an object’s usability whenever possible. When an item made for aesthetic pleasure can be used in the less formal way of everyday life I believe this strengthens the work.
In today’s chaotic society I find it necessary for myself to find time each day to exist in an environment of order and unification. By producing cohesive bodies of work I try to explore different combinations of elements and color in which bring a sense of energy, harmony, and bold existence to a space which holds my art. Having a passion for interior design, I produce work that elevates the awareness of the aesthetic in each space. Because colors and forms can have a physical affect on us, I believe quality design can change the atmosphere and experience of a person who is engaged in it.
By making art which is colorful and modern I enjoy reaching out to an audience that can appreciate the aesthetic with no formal knowledge in the field of ceramics.
