My sculptures are defined by their sensuality, fertility and empowered sexuality. The work explores various microcosms and the details within. This group of sculptures evolved from the ideas of growth and transition, from the feminine point of view. I have been studying tubeworms and mollusks, as well as orchids and the sex of flowers. Constructing a piece can take up to a week. Then the firings begin. First Bisque and then one or two glaze firings. Color is integral. I animate the work with the application of China paints and lustres, often firing up to ten times. Each piece takes two to three months to finish, although I can work on several pieces at a time. I consider the works organic as well as figurative. I am interested in the life force; a dangerous beauty entailing seduction, sexual prowess and moaning hormones. I want to celebrate the spirit of life. The work, two-stepping towards figuration, beckoning seductively, singing the high notes for recognition. They beckon the viewer to come closer, "come hither." I want to make something gorgeous, elegant. Oh my God, have I gone over the line. Is this baroque-a-go-go? I wish my work to smell of the sea, have colors as soft and slippery as a satin quilt and taste the effervescent, tingle of pink. Succulent!
我的雕塑被定义为情感型，创造型以及具有强烈的性欲。我的作品发掘多样的微观世界以及其中的细节。从女性的角度来看，这一组雕塑的灵感来源于成长及蜕变。我了解了管虫和软体动物，同样也研究了兰花和花的雌雄性。
组合一件作品要花去一周的时间。然后开始烧制。先是素烧然后是一两次的釉烧。色彩是完整的。我运用中国的颜料使我的作品生气勃勃，栩栩如生。通常会烧制十次。虽然我可以在一个时间做许多作品，但是每一件作品的完成会花去两到三个月的时间。我会考虑作品的有机性和象征性。
我对生命力很感兴趣，无论是充满诱惑的危险的美丽，性欲的勇猛以及荷尔蒙下的呼叫。我很想庆祝生命的这种精神。我的作品可从两个层面来看，一种是诱惑的向你招手示意，另一层面是高歌盛赞作品。他们向参观者招手示意走进些，“来这里”。我要的作品高雅而灿烂。噢，天哪！我越过了那条线。这是巴洛克吗，我该何去何从？我希望我的作品会散发出海的味道，颜色会象缎子一样柔软与光滑，感觉中略带有一丝兴奋与纷杂。 |
