My work is a contemplation on material, process, and object metaphors that often juxtaposes the medium of clay with industrial, reclaimed, or found materials to create installations and sculptural works that often speak of landscapes lost. I often employ my materials in unconventional ways to accent the metaphorical capacity of each to communicate a sense of memory, ephemerality, and loss. Based primarily on forms and processes from the agrarian landscape of my childhood and the actual tangible process of object making, I present my objects and installations as physical tributes to a memory, perhaps marking a landscape, a memory, or an idea that I may have experienced and which no longer exists.

The work included in this exhibition, "Knots", was first developed during a residency at Museum Bruunshaab Papfabrik, Viborg, Denmark, curated by Danish curatorial team Driftskontoret.
