ARTIST STATEMENT
My current work, Poprocks, illuminates clay’s geologic origins, innate forms, phantasmagorical rhythms, and rousing surfaces. Through manic colors and experimental surfaces, I aim to illustrate the mercurial moods found beneath our feet. Poprocks synthesizes a sense of chthonian, earthen nature through a tangible lens of imaginable utility.
