Artist Statement
I am fascinated by the mundane objects that occupy a domestic space. My work has been driven by the appliances, tools, or utensils used within the home that consume our daily lives and repetitive tasks. Drawing from my personal experiences and surroundings with how females operate within the home have slowly become inspiration for the objects that I choose to recreate. These spaces and objects though typically inviting can slowly feel daunting and cage-like though wrapped in a lovely package or pattern. Perceived as archival, I use clay to express my relationship with the home and recreate my interpretation of seemingly common objects.
