Artist Statement
As an award-winning visual artist working on paper, in ice, and clay, I have considered my use of figure post-modernist documents of moments in time. I feel as though the figures mark an event. Most ceramics and drawings of this time are hybrids. Clay, paper, and water being the universal medium incorporate my two and three-dimensional concerns.
Clay and ice like that of drawing mediums are an additive and subtractive process that can be mixed, suspended, reclaimed, accompanied, fused, vitrified...... The possibilities are endless. I have only begun a life long obsession with these media. Since the first time a man put his mark in the mud, the earth and its populous has changed, but his need to communicate through his mark, his line, is still pertinent and necessary.
