As an artist I explore human emotion through sculptural forms, utilizing the expressive material of clay.
The stylized figures I construct convey an emotional impact through the elaboration of body language,
thus illustrating different mental states and emotional responses.
To achieve this sentiment, body postures and extremities are exaggerated to stress
a whole range of emotions. I explore the uncomfortable and awkward, quiet and
internal moments; feelings of vulnerability, fatigue, emptiness, serenity, and bereavement.
My intent is to expose the fragility of the human psyche and uncover a nonverbal language
between viewer and the piece that is naturally understood.
