FORM/CHANCE

A series of stacked sculptural assemblies shaped by the negotiation between intention and intuition. Each form begins through a different ceramic method—hand-built or slab-built pieces, extruded elements, or altered thrown shapes. Each technique brings its own behavior and limits; I work the clay until it asserts its direction and the contour it wants to become.

These sculptures echo the landscapes that surround me: the glacial boulders of southern Sweden or the cairns that appear along Northern California trails. They reflect these natural structures without imitating them—borrowing their weight, stillness, and quiet sense of balance.

The compositions follow a rhythm that reveals itself through making: selecting, balancing, editing—refusing symmetry when it feels too easy, allowing it when it feels true. My background in graphic design informs the color decisions—crisp contrasts, deliberate palettes, and points of saturation that bring contemporary clarity to these ancient references.

Each sculpture becomes a record of choices and adjustments, of listening and responding. A balance of form and chance—discovered, not arranged.
