Research

research overview

  • My work focuses on ceramic installation; I make objects that I use to create larger spaces so that a viewer can enter in, and have a whole experience that engages multiple senses. Currently I continue to develop my skills using the CAD program Rhino 3-d to design work that can use 3-d printing, laser cutting, and CNC milling as a tool to create objects and design spaces. I have also been researching the history of the Jacquard Loom, which many consider to be the first computer, and using textiles created with this technology as reference material for new ceramic works.
