Artist Statement

The work that I do is a great experience, it is fun to work with clay. Right now I don't have any goals or aspiration at this very moment. I just try to get my project created for the week. The main material I work with is clay, this reminds me of my childhood. Me and my brother Riley used to play with clay when we were younger. We would make a lot of little things, such as snake, bowls, etc. When I got older my mother would watch craft shows and i would sit and watch it with her. The shows would range from glass work to metal. All the shows would increase the love for art that I had developed.

I'll start out a project by thinking of what can I do to put my own twist to the projects I have at school. We have done multiple projects already where I've added my own twists. The shows that me and my mother used to watch had influenced me greatly. I've always wanted to create pottery. A few years back my parents got me a clay wheel from one of their friends. I wanted to use it right a way but my parents refused until I knew how to use it safely.
