This piece is exploring the idea of the value of time. As a society we focus on making money and spending money in exchange for our time. This sculpture is questioning how do we spend our time?

Artist Statement:

This body of work focuses on my personal narrative about my emotions with time. The reality that time is fleeting is always on my mind. The human condition exists as an imperfect entity because the presence of death is inevitable. I intentionally destroy parts of the work to emphasize imperfection, inevitability and disease while leaving enough of the piece to portray memory, or the visual evidence of what used to be. Intrigued by the investigation of control in creating form, endless surface finishes, and the use of contrasting colors and textures within my ceramic sculptures.
