“From formation to decoration, my functional pottery coalesces aesthetic pleasure with tactile experience. Drawing on sensory perception invites engagement in use. Tethered together by the object as a physical boundary, I am interested in the negotiation between the material and the maker and the connection to its emotional response in the user.”
