The work borrows from the decorative history of East and West, fusing them into precarious forms, which mimic portions of industrial and urban landscapes. Western influences include forms derived from Cornucopias and Corinthian columns, or other symbols of prosperity and affluence. The Eastern influences are appropriated blue and white porcelains. At times, these elements are literally glazed together in the firing process.
