Abstract
My work for "Biomorphia" references the connection between the human body and the farmland of areas in the southeastern United States, where I am from. The variety of colors and textures from the various atmospheric firings and surface treatments suggest landscapes and movement while accentuating the curvilinear forms. The process of creating is very important to me in that I make decisions on how my forms appear as I build them, working very intuitively. My ceramic sculptures are ultimately about movement, working spontaneously, and form.
