“My current practice explores
the notion of perceived
reality. I am interested in
the multiple identities that
exist in things and how

Imagination and its ability to
transform the ordinary into
the extraordinary is of
primary concern to my work.”

You pour, you eat, you store, you serve and you drink from them, and sometimes you just contemplate them…
