ARTIST STATEMENT
This dialog between the personal and the universal connects questions of existence & equality, psychology & evolution, the fragment & totality, and helps contextualize the effects of advanced industrialization on human development. It has led me to re-imagine the human story as a 3D collage made of porcelain clay, describing how we can move between the experiences of trauma, disintegration & loss, to strength, regeneration, and vitality. On this journey of transformation, we are not alone, but connected in an intricate web of relationships to the world around us.
