Absence Series
This body of work references the natural world while questioning the illusion of reality. In my work the absence created by the sanitary white objects confronts the viewer with a quiet intimacy. The ceramic forms contrast fleshy organic curves with the sterile precision of industry. The forms look to be objects of function but affirm no specific purpose. Their scale and surface relate to body.

The subject implies numerous associations to things utilitarian and human. The minimal characteristics reveal enough information to formulate a question without answering it. I am less interested in illustrating an idea but rather creating a setting for dialog between the viewer and my work to exist.
