My work is about play, mutability, touch, mysterious narrative, miniature worlds and fantastical realities. Ultimately, I believe that objects have the power to hold memory and to connect us through time. I hope to be part of that connection with my work. Waco, Texas has (surprisingly) become my home, which I share with my partner, Niko Weissenberger. I split my time between teaching at the local college and an active studio practice. Sometimes I bake. Niko: I have been living in Waco, Texas since 2008 after graduating from the University of North Texas with an MFA. Currently I support myself as a lecturer at Mclennan Community College. Making work manages to get in there somewhere. The line between sculpture and function is faint and the forms have more to do with the wood kiln itself than any allegiance to a particular technique. I try to be honest with the process and to be involved with it physically and mentally. Firing with wood has proven to be a good source for both of these things.
