Emergence
“The abstract surfaces are usually highly textured with embossed relief patterns suggesting: cloth, lace, alphabetical figures, numerals, organic material and cultural material combined to stimulate a visual narrative. Inorganic clay + glaze, thus, reflect organic growth + decay and provide the atmosphere for suggested figurative forms to emerge. I try to visually express that these figures are capable of hatching from the abstraction, or sprouting plant-like from the initial arrangement of clay slabs + coils.”
