“Cultural Habits”, 18 in. ceramic raku container. 
Watching a staggering crowd of women awkwardly parading around in the latest fashion of 6 inch stiletto heels reminds me of this ceramic piece I made after our trip to Thailand.

"Perceptions", 12 in. Raku Ceramic Vase.
How we interpret our world determines our reality. Most perceptions are based NOT on what's there, but what we've been taught and habitually believe is there. This figure is looking RIGHT and looking LEFT, yet is is really ONE body with many view points. . She is both Black and White and filled or emptied of our habits of mind. 

Multi-Faceted Woman", 20 inch painted ceramic vase 
 Women, as illustrated by this vessel, contain many parts, features and perspectives, often depending on the moon. She is nature, continually changing and transforming.

"Melting", 23 in. raku vessel.
It seems we are in a planetary shift and can't control Mother Nature. The only shift we can control is from within. Nurturing ourselves, our environment and showing compassion for others is what we can do for stability, no matter how unstable She seems to be. 

“Bewildered” is a 23 inch two piece ceramic vessel which honors those times in our lives when we feel stuck. Her antennae are spinning in many different directions, but her feet seem too heavy to get her going. It's this resistance and time of indecision that heralds change.
