As a process-driven maker, what I do with clay starts with foraging in friends’ compost bins, gardens and recycling collections.  Like a little pack rat I drag collected things to the studio, such as flowers, vegetable and plant roots, and a range of man-made materials and objects like egg cartons, clothes, foam, insulation and bed springs.  I dip them in special clay slip, adding layer upon layer of clay.

This work is generated from a place of making.  I just do, and in the doing, ideas and reasons for producing the work evolve during the process. It’s not until assembling the work that it fully takes shape.
