Choosing to work with clay for its symbolic attributes of permanence and inheritance, and its profound connection with the everyday, I engage with this material at a critical distance.
I am a studio potter and educator. I split my time between my personal practice (in my studio at Erector Square) and teaching at Southern Connecticut State University and Yale University.
