POME

My work explores the experience of being a woman through organic forms, tactile materials, and the tension between beauty and discomfort. I am drawn to forms found in nature—fruit, seed pods, bodies—and to the ways these forms can carry associations of fertility, nourishment, sexuality, growth, and decay.

In my POME series, I use ceramic fruit forms and wool felt to explore the female body outside the traditional language of idealization and objectification. The smooth, sensual forms of clay are interrupted by the raw texture of felt, creating a tension between attraction and unease.

I am interested in the coexistence of seemingly opposing realities: beauty and discomfort, vulnerability and strength, attraction and repulsion. I gravitate toward materials such as clay and wool that are tactile, elemental, and ultimately capable of returning to the earth. Through these materials, I create objects that invite contemplation while remaining grounded in the physical world.
