Artist Statement
All grown-ups were once children. Children who were full of imagination and overflowing curiosity. The adult world, by contrast, restrains the formerly infinite imagination by imposing responsibilities and practical concerns. Society puts limits on the way we as individuals can perceive things, and as an artist, I am interested in expanding those confines. Regression to a childlike state of mind, so that we can explore a place beyond such boundaries. To create my figurative sculptures, I choose clay as the main medium that feels most like human flesh. And to form, I use the most tactile touch: pinching and coiling.
