Function
Creamers and sugars, salt and pepper sets, and lidded containers are the primary objects that I create. My work is small and initmate in size. These handheld objects are constructed with soft slabs and the process of the making is left visible for the user to discover. Most recently, I have been creating clay "bricks" for my pots to sit on. For me they act as a frame for the pieces, which further moves them from strictly useful objects into formal ones as well.

I also create works that reference utilitarian objects. These are often in the form of totes, baskets and pails. Although these objects are not intended for use, they still inhabit a sense of accessibility and approachablility that functional objects obtain.
