ARTIST STATEMENT

Separated by centuries, authors of Biblical literature are united in their use of Heaven and Earth as symbols depicting the relentless romance between the Divine and the Human. In my work, I respond to these themes by using light and clay to reference Heaven, Earth, and the life that springs from their convergence. Neon glyphs, ceramic sculpture, and found objects form portals that examine connection, generativity, and the mysterious joy of life. The resulting body of work harnesses the potency of Biblical paradigm, celebrating Scriptural metaphor and beckoning the viewer to seek insight within.
