Using metalsmithing and ceramics, I create a visual vocabulary through a bicultural lens. I look to the tension, strength, and fluidity of the material of metal and couple those qualities with the fragility, ability to camouflage through glaze and color, and the display quality of ceramic plates. I observe the way we interact with others and ourselves, and the connection between presumptions, curiosity and reality inspire my forms. I am interested in how understanding and perception shift as one approaches my work from a distanced to a close-up view.
