My work is an exploration of the body and the mind and everything that surrounds them. I am drawn to meaning and emotion more than to form. Often, a concept begins somewhere beyond my awareness and only reveals itself through the act of making. Each piece carries fragments of my life and my experiences, shaped by the collective realities I live through as a woman, even when I do not yet understand where it comes from.
Clay is my primary material, though I also work with wire, wood and photos when the work calls for it. Drawing and poetry exist alongside my sculptural practice as parallel ways of seeing and thinking. I do not search for techniques. I work with what feels familiar and honest, allowing each piece to find its own method.
My process usually begins with sketches, but the final work rarely resembles the original drawing. I allow intuition to lead and accept change as part of the work. I am not interested in perfection. I am interested in resonance. The imperfections, the sadness, and the weight of lived experience remain present in the surface and form. I want my pieces to speak through their being, not through how they should look.
Every sculpture, drawing, and poem is a conversation with myself. It is a way to feel, to question, and to connect.
