You are the place where I stand when my feet are sore
You Are the Place Where I Stand When My Feet Are Sore
This body of work, sculpted from porcelain, explores the emotional landscape of change, connection, and endurance. Each piece feels like a family member — shaped by time, circumstance, and care — moving through moments of tension, rest, and transformation. They are portraits of feelings, thoughts, and experiences, translated into form. The shapes and colors trace the story of migration: from one place to another, one relationship to another, one experience to another. Together, they speak to the ways we carry ourselves — and one another — through the shifting terrain of life.
I Found My Place at the Base of an Old Oak Tree
This project explores resilience, patience, and the quiet strength found in nature. Through the making of clay seed packets, it reflects on what it takes to grow — strong and steadfast, like an oak tree. The work embodies the idea that harsh conditions can cultivate unexpected beauty when given the right tools: sunlight, soil, and water. Nature takes its course; change is inevitable. Yet the oak tree endures, a symbol of visual patience and tolerance — a reminder that growth often begins in stillness.
