OTHERWORLDLY OFFERINGS
2022

In my process and work, I am seeking for the elements of “foreign” and “space” within familiar forms… different aspects that create distance. While intertwining my own experiences of otherness, I resist the urge to balance and juxtapose—rather colliding contrasting elements together until one begins to see grace within brute itself. One sees self in the other, and the other as a gift. Creating if not closeness, then new proximities.

Ceramic vessels hand built (mostly coiled and pinched) and decorated in Oakland or Pacifica. Some were wood or wood soda fired in San Gregorio. Or raku or high fired / gas reduction in Pacifica at Clay Creations studio.
