Clay holds memory- of the body, of ritual, of the hands that shape it. Prehistoric and Bronze Age ceremonial vessels of the Eastern Mediterranean existed somewhere between sculpture, architecture, tool, and altar, collapsing the boundary between the sacred and the everyday.
Hand-built forms, communicating vessels, and harmonic proportions inform my work. Geometry is softened by a sense of movement, allowing each piece to quietly animate.
These vessels are created to be used, shared with, and lived alongside. Inspired by ritual objects once reserved for temples, offerings, and ceremony, my work reimagines those gestures within daily life: the sharing of bread, wine, fruit, and conversation. A meal becomes an offering to one another rather than to distant gods.
Interconnected forms and vessel clusters speak to multiplicity within unity, collective gathering, ancestry, and the invisible threads between people. Utility and sculpture remain intentionally blurred- pieces that may rest in space or emerge during moments of intimacy and connection, carrying a sense of sacred ambiguity into contemporary life.
