‘Keep it centered!’ 

My experience as a glassblowing apprentice struggling to blow glass symmetrically has largely informed my studio practice. I embrace humor and absurdity thinking about the unachievable perfection and the inevitable flaws in my vessel making processes. Vessels are essentially my sources of inspiration. I am interested in revisiting their making processes, their structural elements, and their functions as essentially presentational or serving mechanisms. I often play around with means of display, bringing furniture and architectural structures into my jokes.
