Picture
​"-itis III," crocheted porcelain, glazed & painted. 2015. Named for the suffix attached to inflammatory diseases, and painted in a manner inspired by digital glitches, this piece freezes the moment of rupture of this familiar inflatable toy form in brittle porcelain.


​Circling around questions concerning materiality and understanding, these projects seek to recast the seemingly familiar in a new light.  By exploring traditional processes and techniques, new methods are developed to reframe the familiar. When abstraction is employed, it is done as a type of inversion and so that the form itself questions expectations of recognition – be it through perception, structure, materiality or form.
​

Collaboration is also a powerful tool for expanding and exploring our perceptions, and currently much of my creative research is devoted to the collective Encoded Objects.
