To See Me Through Her Eyes is a series of functional ceramic work fired in wood-salt, wood-soda, anagama, and gas-soda kilns. The scenes and forms draw from memories with my maternal grandmother, incorporating the silhouette she made of me when I was five years old.

In the work I try to define the shape of a tension—something that feels authentic to my core beliefs. I grew up surrounded by people who now hold views that directly oppose mine, and I am trying to understand what it means to hold love and hatred in the same breath.
