This particular body of work uses clay at a more fundamental / elemental level.  Simply “collecting” clay from particular sites lays the groundwork for commentary and critique on many different fronts.  Depending on the circumstance or situation, clay itself often serves as a very telling indexical sign of climatic/ physical and social phenomena.  Often over looked in this regard, clay itself doesn’t necessarily need to be deliberately fashioned to convey content or to “tell a story”.
