My current body of work investigates the varied spaces of parenthood from the liminal and spiritual to the quirky, comical and unconditional. As a new Dad immersed in the trenches of helping to raise a former infant now preschooler, the fleeting transformations of a child’s growth and development are both magical and bittersweet. I use ceramics and mixed media as a conduit to physically and mentally preserve those moments and experiences that you can’t get back.
