Title: Snowy Black Cliff in Vast Wooden Sky
Medium: Wooden bowl from LA junk shop; Rock found on Malibu beach; Twig picked up while walking the dog; Raku clay
Dimensions: 15” x 15” x 5”
Artist Statement: For me, all my pieces are portraits of solitude – reflecting in varying degrees the strength of individuality and the corrosive effects of isolation. But, ideally, each work is open enough to connect with the viewer emotionally on their own terms and reflect their own point of view. Aesthetically, I strive to create work that feels slightly out of time and place, as though each is an artifact from a design past that never quite happened. Although the results often have a vaguely Scandinavian mid-century modern vibe, early American folk art is my primary inspiration.
