These sculptures explore what living systems have always known: that the existence of one relies on the dissolution of another, and that decomposition is the condition for new life.
Wood serves as host to ceramic pieces that accumulate across its surface in shifting size and pattern. Through that accumulation the materials transform, what begins as wood and clay dissolving into something else entirely, as if a new organism were pulling itself into being.
