Buried in Petals & Thorns, 2026
Vicki Myhren Gallery, Denver, CO
In this work, I am exploring decoration and pattern as an opportunity for hidden function – disguising compartments, drawers, or tools within the patterned surface as a coded form of communication. Through the layered patterns and varied forms, I am reconsidering how decoration can function not as embellishment, but as a material language rooted in care, resistance, and survival. Viewers were invited to interact with the ceramic forms to discover hidden objects like teeth, wishbones, tears, pills, buttons, thorns, and leaves.
