"Clawblet represents the duality that exists within myself and my art practice. Trained as a furniture maker, I find myself enthralled with the intricate carving of a ball-and-claw foot, yet uninterested in making more than one at a time. Similarly, the woven copper basket resembles a goblet, yet the nature of the material leaves this piece non-functional. This process-driven work leads me to question: does my practice stem from mindfulness or neurosis? If it is my nature to create highly-crafted nonsensical work, then can (or should) I nurture my focus to make sense of it?"
