When I Needed God 2022
This series was originally based on X-Rays I received after becoming aware of a permanent health condition in 2019. The work reflects my new understanding of place and existence. This series is organic in shape and nature as the clay was unrestricted rather than instructed, the final piece was to be, without intention, a product. Allowing the clay to heat and cool throughout handling would let the creases and folds that adorn the sculpture to solidify in their shape and give the sculpture its posture. The sculptures capture a breathing-life quality that instinctually reminds one of our human condition and the simple fragility of life.
