As an artist, I have a wide variety of interests. I find myself called to both physical and digital mediums, to visual and auditory works, to permanence and fleeting creations.

My primary art form is sound for theater. Theater, a form which prides itself on existing only for those in the room when the production took place, but also sound, an element of the work that is not even documented in photos. While I live for the rush of impermanence, I find a similar thrill in working with ceramics, an art form that has shown time and time again to last longer than the civilizations who creates it.

My ceramics work up until now have been primarily functional. I love creating dining sets, large serving platters (the ones pictured to the right are up to 20” wide) and planters, but now I aim to venture into more experimental and structural works.

My goal is to bring these two loves, sound and ceramics, together to one. My first foray is shown in the rotating planter to the right, where I drew out a signal flow for a sound system in under-glaze, tracing the sound from the source, to the console, the amplifiers, the speaker, and out back into the air.

My goal moving forward is to continue to bring these two forms together by exploring the creation of ceramic forms that themselves are designed to create soundscapes through the audience’s tactile interaction and breath.
