Ceramics

My ceramics are hand‑built desert artifacts—cracked, carved, warped, and weathered into forms that feel excavated rather than made. I let the clay misbehave: lean, twist, split, and reveal its own geology. These pieces carry the textures of bark, fossils, wind‑carved stone, and ancient water. Imperfect, organic, and a little feral, they’re modern relics shaped by the same forces that shape the desert.
