Fractals

As the elements converse in the material world, patterns emerge from these relationships. One example of this that deeply captivates me is that of Water and Earth. As water moves through earth, its flow is shaped and directed by the land and in turn the land is continuously reformed by this flow. This creates a pattern of collection and distribution that exists on many scales; from massive rainwater and river basins to small nutrient-transferring veins of a leaf. This pattern is all around-and within-us. It is in the root bodies of trees and the circulatory systems

of humans. Dividing over space through growth and expansion, yet contracting, collecting, and decaying too. Here are some works that seek to encapsulate this fractal in different textures:

Dueling Forms

All around us, all the time, the complex language of form in the material world speaks powerfully and expressively. Too often, we lose touch with this language, forgetting the importance of how atmosphere and aesthetics influence us and the way we exist in and appreciate the world around us. Within most forms, there are tensions and conversations happening. Between positive and negative space, between patterns and texture, and between rigidity and dynamism. In my own ceramic exploration of these tensions, I have begun making what I call dueling forms; pots that are undeniably in conversation with themselves, expressing things through variation, empty space, and surface contrasts.
