Teaching Philosophy
Currently, I am engaged in using my own narrative to challenge my perception of cohesiveness. Playing with tension between mundane and dynamism, my forms are neither specific nor abstract – they suggest and tease, and expect to be teased back. Clay is a generous co-pilot in my exploration of the how petrified stillness of mass is location; how recorded moment is in constant flux; how audience joins the performance.
