Air-Dry Clay and Paper Mache

A selection of recent work exploring color, repetition, and form.

On Display Now: Radial Gradients

Radial Gradients is a study in color, built one small piece at a time. Each petal is mixed and shaped by hand, then layered onto a paper mache form, creating slow transitions that move outward from the center. The work comes from a simple place—an interest in color itself, and the satisfaction of watching it change over time.
