Earthship3

“Earthship 3, conceptualizes how comets brought in the primordial organic elements that gave rise to life on Earth. It combines paperclay and high-grogged sculpture clay to produce a sphere fragment representing the comet's exterior. Delicate white flower-like pods, representing precious life elements, cram the interior, just as people crowded into third class steerage on the old ships to travel to a new home.”

“My art makes a statement, tells a story. It translates thoughts, questions, concerns I have into a tangible 3-D form. My sculpture is a way to confront and convey issues of where people come from and where they are heading.”
