I use the brightness of neon lights, the fragility of porcelain, and the translucency of glass to express all the things I’ve been asked to hide. My work is meant to be uncomfortable: large glaring words, ceramics that fall and break, shattered forms pieced back together. Trauma is a disruption, disability a series of barriers and unceasing pain, so my work is created to be eerily beautiful but also destructive, destroyed, broken.
