I grew up in a house where there was fabric draped on the dining room table waiting for my mother to sew it into a dress. In 1997, while stretching a slab of clay, half of it tore and flew across the studio. When I went to pick it up, I saw how the clay looked like fabric. That moment and my personal history influenced the ceramic folds.

My creative journey is instinctive and improvised. The making process is physical and fluid, like a dance. It is a collaboration with the clay, where I am receptive to where it wants to curve, fold or cave. When a piece is finished on the wall, it responds to natural light and it reflects pure calm, a moment of bliss.
