When I construct my sculptures, I draw on indeterminate memories of power plants, dams, man made structures. I use mechanical textures in the slabs and assemble them with exposed seams and slip. The forms have structure but are off-kilter and worn-looking with slip and glazes that peel, drip and foam.
