Post Baccalaureate Work

Growing up I was taught the importance of sharing meals around the table. These memories of sharing dinners have resulted in my fascination with functional objects, because of their ability to facilitate connections while providing nourishment. The work I am making explores the landscape around me. I am informed by my surroundings, both past and present. The objects of these places influence my work as I seek to understand how what we leave behind will impact our future landscape. I desire my work to provide nourishment through the ritual of daily use. Through my making I am looking to understand the place I am living and how I fit within it.
