CULTUREEDIT AUCTION #3

I’ve been a Los Angeles-based graphic design professional for many years. However, my recent work with ceramics has allowed me to rediscover a creative energy that I hadn’t enjoyed since my undergrad days at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Incorporating my love of comic books and science fiction, I create ceramic sculptures that are humorous, thought- provoking, and beautiful. While exploring society’s reaction to gay sexuality and culture, I’ve cultivated a somewhat subtle presentation of erotic content. I want the viewer to be drawn in to look, and then either laugh or be horrified. I couldn’t have done this earlier in life. I’m very much a late- in-life ceramist, and all my life experiences have come together, unexpectedly, to enable my creativity in this medium. I’m both pleased and surprised with the results. My best friend, a ceramist who died from AIDS years ago, always wanted me to study with him. I was afraid of getting my hands dirty, but now I know that he’s somewhere out there laughing with me... and at me.
