The architectural scale clay wallworks are painted and embedded with recycled fired clay pieces of earlier works of mine, therefore, somewhat archeological in nature.

Because I grew up in "earthquake country," I appreciate the craks and movement that clay creates as it changes, as it dries; I celebrate these changes and I leave them as a reminder of our fluidity and regeneration.

I respond to the clay as it buckles and cracks. I release control of the clay and respond to the surface with paint. it is metaphoric, it is all a part of a much larger spiritual journey.
