I explore issues of cultural marginalization translated into hand-built functional ceramics, mixed craft media works, and sculptural installation. Currently my concepts focus on maternal feminism, inspired by the challenges of my lived experience as a woman, artist, and mother. Vulvar abortifacient flowers coupled with dramatic gems offer a commentary about bodily autonomy, while figurative vessels speak about motherly bodies and animals that struggle in the margins of humanity. The intersection of marginalization with functional or tactile art reinforces my interest in ceramics, at times combined with other craft media such as fibers and beads. Humble red earthenware is an ideal foundaton with corporeal formal references, textured by rhythmic and radial pinch marks. I create work that sings, in a cacophony or a chorus, about the injustice of oppression and acts as a clarion call for hope and reconciliation.
