My artwork emerges from moments of emotional and physical violence—both small and large. Although rooted in my lived experience, the truths I tell in my work are far from unique. Violence often hides in plain sight, buried in the mundane spaces of daily life. Through ceramic sculpture, I spotlight these moments, inviting viewers into a place that is familiar and simultaneously unsettling.
Scale plays a crucial role in this narrative—objects shrink or expand based on their emotional gravity, the authority they hold, or my own relationship to them. By amplifying the small and shrinking the overwhelming, I reshape how viewers interact with these forms, shifting the relationship between the human body and the work. A full-scale piece may trick the eye with its authenticity, while a miniature scene creates a more distant, voyeuristic experience. This manipulation of scale serves a dual purpose: it renders the unbearable more digestible, and the overlooked impossible to ignore.
Beneath the discomfort found in my work, there’s always a layer of whimsy that cushions the subject matter and acts as an invitation to lean in closer. I want viewers to feel what they feel: unease, rage, tenderness, humor, or joy. There’s no one way to engage. Instead, I offer a space to confront, reflect, and maybe even recognize something that’s been quietly living in your own walls.
