Ceramic sculpture and portraiture, in particular, are forms of a visual narration that I use to satisfy my urge for documenting what I see in human nature. Evocative of well-loved toys and obsolete artifacts, I use the implied history of these objects to encourage the viewer to disconnect from the present situation and conjure their own individual narratives from my sculptures.
Working with concepts that are personal and sometimes narcissistic perceptions of the gloomy side of life, dark humor is my buffer. Dry or irreverent, it is humor that mystifies the tragic.

Honest Abe (working title)
It's official I'm now working out of my garage. Had to give up the life of luxury I was use to at Princeton Day School. None the less I'm still making work. Here's the newest addition to my ceramic family. He's still in progress so more to come.
