"A child’s untamed imagination can create a new and exciting world out of a single object. The adult world, by contrast, restrains the formerly infinite imagination by imposing responsibilities and practical concerns. As an artist I am interested in expanding those confines. In my sculptural clay objects, I often include figures in fantastical situations and imaginary worlds. It is my hope that by combining so many elements of a child’s imagination with those of the adult world –replete with the darker emotions that characterize it– I will create a space for each viewer to have a unique and personal introspective experience."
