My studio practice investigates the realization of an idealized pot, an internalized model that informs decisions regarding form, proportion, surface, and function. Each work emerges through iterative design and ongoing problem-solving, reflecting a dialogue between conceptual intention and material constraints. The pot exists both as a formal object and as a site of exploration, where successive adjustments refine the alignment of utility and aesthetics.
I work at a considered, deliberate pace, positioning my practice in contrast to the accelerated rhythms of contemporary society. This measured approach emphasizes labor, skill, and sustained engagement with material processes, revealing the value of the handmade and the time invested in its production. The traces of care, correction, and refinement are embedded in the object, revealing the attention and skill that define handmade production.
Functionality is central to my work. My ceramics are designed to be used, handled, and woven into the routines of daily life, positioning the vessel as an interactive artwork. In their activation, these objects often function as catalysts for conversation, reflection, and engagement within domestic or social contexts. Through this intersection of usability, iterative making, and embodied labor, my practice explores how handmade objects mediate experience, encourage attentiveness, and sustain meaningful interactions within everyday life.
