Motherhood and Reflection

My baby son Mason was born June 20, 2011 and boy have I been busy! Now that is has been almost three months being a mother of two, I am finally getting back to work. Within these months, I have been reflecting motherhood and reconnecting with memories of my own mother. This has been a difficult, personal journey and my work reflects it. Subconsciously, my pottery has gained symbolic designs and detail work of my mothers memories.

Creating art is healing and I realize I have been internally processing my mothers death for sometime now. There is a special connection with mothers and daughters, something I never realized until my mother was gone. As you will soon see, this body of work will continue the thread of my Memory Pockets but come in a different form with new glaze accents.

Right now I am focused on the concept of mending and reconnection. (more to come)
