“Entrance/Entrance” plays with the double meaning of the homophone “entrance” ― since entering a mysterious, enclosed place can often enchant and mesmerize. I am interested in the textures and natural processes of the living world, and attracted to forms in nature that demonstrate its movement and power. I like complexity of shape and color, elemental forces, and the layers and parts in living things that record a history of their own growth and interdependence. I like to be reminded that I am a biological being, necessarily connected to all life on Earth. Without copying nature, my work in clay strives to evoke feelings of recognition — that the world we depend on looks rather like that, feels like that, invites us in like that — or challenges us with mystery like that. 70 Contact information for this artist can be found on page 83.

This abstract landscape in three dimensions was inspired by the southern California superbloom of 2019.
