    The ground we walk on holds memory and bears witness to our present and our past.

    We move through life connected to the ground in which we ultimately return to.

    We are one with nature; we coexist.

    My work explores this connection and reflects it geologically through clay and botanically through fallen tree branches and wild growing seed heads.

    Inspired by the Japanese tradition of Ikebana; with an emphasis on heaven and earth through mindfulness, and intentional placement of floral arrangement, I pay homage to this tradition through clay vessels and inclusions.

    My pieces are tangible relics of our past, offering us our present and leading us into our future.

    These values guide how I arrange and present my work, encouraging a more reflective relationship between nature and humanity.

    A gentle reminder to be still in the present, contemplative of our past, and to look forward to the future.
