Wall Art
Geometric Series
Recently, I started making my own tiles and experimenting with different ceramic surface techniques such as marbling, mishimi, making my own stamps to create different textures as well as playing with mason stains. I would find myself playing with these tiles and creating all kinds of different geometric, symmetrical patterns and pairing them with the vitreous glass tiles and other found objects I had. Arranging tiles into patterns is surprisingly meditative and satisfying, especially when you stumble upon a great color combination or textures and patterns that are different yet compliment each other so well.
Sculpture
I love covering found objects with mosaic! Tiling these found objects gives an essence of whimsy , texture and sparkle. I had fun with the challenge of covering more delicate objects such as the glasses but at the same time preserving a vintage item such as the cassette tape. Covering clear jars and candle holders allows me to play around with translucency of the glass in order to make a functional yet illuminating object.
The Split Contrast Series
Wall Planter Sculptures
Succulents are amazing because they can grow practically anywhere requiring little water and dirt. This inspired me to use succulents as a medium as well. I love the contrast of having something alive incorporated with something inanimate, something natural incorporated with something manmade.
