Paradoxes run through my ceramic work, which is both static and fluid. Geometric forms, composed of straight, angular lines and planes, co-exist with soft curving loops. I create this sense of movement by looping clay strips that dance above and around the work, softening the stark shapes and providing a counterpoint to the structured architectural forms. The sculptures appear to lift off the ground and are never firmly rooted but teeter perilously on edges conveying life's precariousness.
