I use emerging technologies and earth materials to tap into human origins and our cognitive machinery grounded in embodied experience and meaning cultivation. Earth as recorder, kiln as creator, I think of material transformation as creative non-fiction, record keeping for physical phenomenon and cultural events. Situations are assembled in kilns with unknown outcomes. New equilibriums are discovered. I record machine language in clay for self-growth and cultural navigation. 3d prints become physical records of desire and action generating new insights for evolving body/machine collaboration.
