Ceramics

In my artistic practice, I draw inspiration from the natural world and the feminine form, exploring the transformative power of both. Through these progressions I’m able to capture movement, depth and the essence of the nature’s elements and gain insight on the processes of metamorphosis and the cycles of life, occurring in nature and the female experience, as these realities add to the forms that are manifested onto clay and as these earthly source connects with me I’m able to evolve and transform shaping the life of the art vessel and of which channels the essence the deeply emotional and tangible. 

In the ceramic process I enjoy to employ a broad range of techniques and methods including coil, slab, and free-form construction, to create fragmented and expressive shapes that symbolize transformation, creation, and rebirth. The interplay of textures and forms in my work represents the continuous cycle of existence, where life and death, growth and decay, are intertwined.

The feminine form and natural world are ever present  in such creations, reflecting the ethereal  and connecting bond that shape and transform us.  I see it as way to align and render my homage to Mother Earth and be invited to recreate a new way to see, feel and perceive to capture the beauty and power of transformation, change and unraveling the self to higher state of consciousness in ways that add to my and of others existence. 

Safeguarding The Creative Practice

As a creative, having a system that organizes files and inventory is necessary, which is beneficial for developing and managing one's craft. For example, my creative process comprises pottery. A proper classification and categorization system with descriptions enables better outcomes for an artist. In addition, adequate shelving storage protects against damage. Finding solutions to these matters, becoming more responsible as an artist, and safeguarding and documenting one's craft is essential to ensure responsibility and care for all artistic endeavors. My special thanks to CERF for their generosity in providing me with a CERF+ Get Ready Grant and for greatly supporting my craft.
