Potter’s Field

As an artist, I am fascinated by the concept of transformation, particularly the intersection of life and death.

In Potter’s Field, I seek to create a dialogue about our relationship with the environment and the impact of our actions on the world around us. Death is the inevitable end of life, but it can also serve as a catalyst for new growth and transformation. Each piece represents a moment in time, a snapshot of a living ecosystem that is directly influenced by the presence and interactions of life and death.

By incorporating live plants into my sculptures, I aim to blur the lines between art and nature, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all living things. At the same time, the plants themselves represent the life cycle in action. They grow and change over time, just as we do. Similarly, when they eventually wither and die, they return to the earth; continuing the cycle of regeneration.

Using recycled materials such as newspaper, cardboard, and discarded objects, the potential for renewal is revealed from within even the most unlikely sources. Through my use of recycled materials, I hope to encourage others to rethink their relationship with the things they use and discard and its potential for reuse. This process of transformation is mirrored in the life cycle of the natural world, where death and decay give rise to new growth and vitality. My work is ultimately a meditation on the ubiquitousness of death, and the guarantee of new life.
