Dog Days

"For me, tension between a flatness and dimensionality reflects the surreal qualities of gender, growing up, and memory. The fabric I use has been donated or acquired from estate sales and personal use, and my ceramic surfaces have been fired repeatedly, often appearing cracked, textured, and bubbling like old paint, wallpaper, and broken sidewalks. It is important to me that the work captures the geology of everyday life, evoking a sense of circularity and impermanence."
