Artist Statement:
I create art to lose myself completely, only to rediscover who I am at the end of the project. Being an Intersex Artist, I draw on my experience of having female and male sex characteristics that don’t fit into the binary. Essentially, my art is an opportunity to explore being different. Reactions to my work range from, “That’s cool”, to “That’s dark and scary”. My work is provocative, eclectic, quirky, and unpredictable, a lot like me.
Although much of my work is functional pottery (hand thrown on potter’s wheel), creating masks is an exploration into my subconscious, a mystery. I love the idea of taking a piece of clay from the earth and molding it. I allow my fingers to do what they want, pressing and pulling in a feverish manner. I live to take risks in combining colors and crystals in my glazes, the results often a surprise. Life is like an experiment, why shouldn’t my art be too?
