HandBuilt Sculptural Vessels
2022
These works are ideas that have been brewing in my head for a while. They are a journey through past memories beginning with childhood and continuing through adulthood. These memories include listening to storytime as a child and seeing the wonderful drawing in The Lorax. They also include my teenage years in stage crew and being affected by my first production of Little Shop of Horrors. Some of these sculptures are inspired by the process of nature in plants...and the Ocean, most specifically Coral.
My love for colour stems from my Mexican Culture and the runny glazes are based on my love for the ceramic process.
All Plant Monster Vessels are handbuilt using a variety of clay bodies, firing temperatures, and different glaze applications.
