description:
The artist uses multiple processes, glazes, and slips to create her work. She states she uses low fire sculptural white earthenware due to its consistency, strength, and reliability. She then often finishes the pieces with acrylic paint and encaustic, using beeswax (pure or mixed), oil paints, and ceramic stains mixed with hot wax. She applies the wax with heat gun and spreads it with cotten rag or high quality paper towels. The work discusses the "effects of psychological oppression on the human body." Her figures derive from the human body, yet remain firmly in abstraction. Her work is strongly informed by her memories of growing up in Czechoslovakia during the Communist regime and its resulting oppression. She depicts the physical effects of that type of mental stress through an abstraction of the human body.
