I am thrilled and honored to be included in a group exhibition of Pacific Northwest ceramic artists. From the curator: “ Build Me Up, Tear Me Down, Why Don’t You Love Me Babe Like There’s No One Around is the title of this inaugural Invitational. The exhibition features 12 remarkable artists from Oregon and Washington whose engagement with clay offers a seductive account of the expressive possibilities of the medium: Iván Carmona, Emily Counts, Daniel Duford, Claudia Fitch, Ariana Heinzman, Holly Hudson, Ryan W. Kelly, Dirk Staschke, Chris Theiss, Timea Tihanyi, Tip Toland, and Patti Warashina. Inaugurating the Museum’s new series of thematic exhibitions, the MoNA Ceramic Invitational 2025 offers a window into the contemporary Northwest landscape of ceramic sculpture which, modeled by hand and time, becomes an extension of the artists’ body and mind—with its conscious and unconscious thoughts, feelings, and motivations—and the embodiment of the historical moment we live in.”
