Artist Statement for this piece:
Our skin attaches us and holds us in. In many ways, skin defines us: young or old, black or white, all skin commands beauty. In the delicate swirl of white and orange, I tried to capture the essence of nakedness. What twirling, blurred, freckled, memories do each of us hold when we think of skin? This porcelain is unclothed; glazed by only the heat and salt of the kiln. The curvature of the mugs and bowl resemble various body-like bends, a feeling compounded by the handles which reach out to the viewer, softly requesting to be held. The dark blush that builds throughout the set signals a romance motion, just as the mugs on either side create a visual tension, almost wishing to be pulled together.
