I have two main bodies of work. My large sculptures subvert the functionality of ceramic vessels by transforming them into life-sized figurative pieces. Starting on the wheel, I throw functional vessels like bowls, plates and cups. Once leather hard, I squish and combine the vessels into the shape of my body. This reflects the uniquely trans experience of feeling made of dysfunctional parts and the joy of assembling a new identity for your body to inhabit.
