Holding Light

I use natural organic forms, such as ferns, seaweeds and grasses, as metaphors for the inner light we all hold and emit as we bend to our surroundings. These delicate sculptures are made up of very thin porcelain, meticulously hand-built. They are incredibly light to hold, and when illuminated from within they glow with an inner life.

In the past two years, my Holding Light body of work and my nerikomi have converged as I have begun to sculpt communities - especially mine - holding together during difficult times. Always, our light shines through.
