My audience is everyone. I have no specific target market in mind because I create work that is intended to stand alone but can also be in a grouping. As a ceramicist working in between mass production and hand-made, my work is for anyone who finds it interesting. I make hand thrown ceramic objects, mostly lidded jars, and the pottery I create is a commentary on prevention of loss and harmonizing of the past and present. The work is split between two aesthetics, mid 20th century styles of ceramic surface decoration and modern architectural references, which are pushed together into one piece and one body. It takes from historical sources as well as current trends to create one single body. The work I make is based on evolution, so it is read as a timeline rather than a category list. The work is all related to itself in the sense that the current work is slightly different from the previous work. The format and meaning can change at any time, and that’s what makes working with clay so much fun. My goals as an emerging artist are:
• Receive my bachelors degree and graduate college
• Become established in my hometown of Miami
• Marry my beautiful fiancée
• Gain gallery representation
• Ultimately I would love to start my own ceramic studio (grow from
a personal operation to a public studio)
