Internal Outland, 2024. Ceramic, bone, candle soot and organic stains. 8 x 10 x 5 inches.

Internal Outlands (2024) reflects on states of rumination within our internal dialogues; becoming a process of world-building that welcomes the framework of our own time-based material and spiritual reality. Each individual hand imprint expresses its own character or feeling, fitting together to become a unified place to sit oneself within. Situating in a place that extends to otherworldly lands. These abstracted microcosms are hand-built off of remains and dressed in organic digestible materials. Eager to float between pendulums of micro and macro; living and non-living; recognizable and abstracted; material and immaterial; immutable and ephemeral.

Contact Me

I am an artist who focuses on ceramic, sculpture and other things. I often explore places, collecting its objects and materials; observing them in relation to clay. Like a puzzle to solve or a conversation between friend, my practice involves a spontaneous collaboration with these material beings. My hands’ impressions act as words and questions, that in unified form becomes an embodiment of my internal world. The accumulation of ruminating thought and feeling becomes translated into visual expressions. The whole acts as an imaginative microcosm, that under the constant intervention of time, considers the rhythms, atmospheres and collaborations that affect a cyclical ecosystem of land, spirit, and material.
