Ceramics has been integral to my healing process. I often make vessels just as much out of necessity as I do for pleasure. The forms I create are extensions of myself. As I work through grief, trauma, unexpected life changes, doubt, anxiety, depression, etc, my vessels have become storage spaces for the emotions that I can no longer contain within my physical body. They are a way for me to honor and acknowledge what was while at the same time accepting what is and what could be. They are as multifaceted as she who created them.
