A material that translated my existential inquiries of birth, death, rebirth and its thresholds.
I wanted to create works that I have lived through; the wounds, the darkness, the horrific beauty, the impermanence of life itself.
I wanted all that was resident in me to have a resonance in my practice.
I found Clay! To me it is Mass. It is a release of energy; an animistic element.
It shares the very same paradoxical qualities I was looking for, of strength and fragility, creation and destruction.
