It was meant to be two ✌️

The piece I submitted to has a companion. A second vase made with a 'living pot' technique my ceramics instructor Pedro Ramirez taught me many years ago.

The idea was a diptych. Two objects in conversation: breath and echo.

There was only room for one so this one lives here now!

In the beautiful chaos of my studio, surrounded by clay dust and half finished things and the particular silence of work that still has somewhere to go.

Maybe that's where it belongs for now 🤍

I didn't write this language. I received it.

During one of the hardest seasons of my life, I was meditating obsessively using an ancient Vedic technique.Trying to heal my body from the inside out. And these symbols started coming through.

I call them Light Codes.

A language of healing.

Every mark is an instruction to emit light into whatever space it inhabits.

Two ceremonial bowls inscribed with these codes are currently on view at TOLK Gallery in Brooklyn as part of "Protect My Peace." A group exhibition exploring what it means to safeguard yourself during tender times.

On view until May 9th. Come let them work on you.

Have you ever made something you didn't fully understand until after it was done?

I almost didn't go.

Mom brain had a whole list of reasons. But my friend texted, and something in my chest said yes.

So I went. A chance to admire the MoMA at night. For a Marcel Duchamp party. And standing in those rooms: light low, art breathing differently after hours, I felt it. That rare thing... belonging.

Duchamp gave permission to be irreverent. To refuse the rules and ask the question instead of performing the answer. I've been asking a lot of questions lately. And I got to do it next to a woman who has known every version of me.

Old friendship doesn't feel nostalgic. It feels confirming.
I forget that play is part of the practice. That showing up, getting dressed, laughing loudly in a museum at night — that's not a break from the work.

That is the work.

The Divine Feminine was in every room ✨️

A Korean Talchum drama from the 9th century has been living in me lately....

His name is Cheoyong.

A plague spirit came to his door one night, trying to take everything. He didn't fight it. Instead, he sang and danced until the spirit bowed and vowed never to return. For a thousand years afterwards Korean families hung his face on their doors to keep sickness out.

I keep coming back to this. Because I think a lot of us believe we have to meet chaos with more chaos. Armor up. Fight harder. Be tougher.

Cheoyong says no. Sing to it. Dance in front of it. Be so fully, tenderly alive that it has nowhere to land.

I'm calling that energy into my studio. Into my body. Into this vessel I'm still learning how to protect. Not by fighting. By making.

Two of my Cheoyong-inspired pieces, Korean Talchum drama masks from the Silla era, are part of Protect My Peace - a group show opening this Friday at in Brooklyn.

I'm showing alongside four artists I deeply admire: , , , and .

TOLK Gallery, 286 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn

Come sit with these vessels. Come bring whatever you're protecting 🙏

Clay has a way of healing through subconscious alchemy.

I don't fully understand it. But enough people have shared in this experience that I know there's something to it.

I believe it's a process of excavating and releasing.

I never know what thoughts, emotions, memories will emerge as I work with mud.

This time, it was forgiveness that found me.

The form finally created at the end speaks volumes to my embodied experience.

To the desire for more compassion, more connection, more joy, more peace - within and without.

Come see the finished work at TOLK Gallery, 286 Stanhop Street, Brooklyn. Opening Sat 4/11. On view until May.

So. This happened.

I opened the kiln and found one of my pieces for "protect my peace" in fragments. A kiln explosion. The kind that doesn't care how many hours you spent coiling, smoothing, whispering prayers into wet clay.

Here's what nobody tells you about ceramics: the fire has the final say. Always. You can do everything right and still. The kiln decides.

I sat with the pieces for a while. Not gonna lie, I cried a little. Then I laughed. Because isn't this the whole thing? You make something with your hands and your heart and you surrender it to the flame and you wait. And sometimes the flame says NO.

Resilience isn't optional if you're a potter. It's the first material. Before the clay. Before the glaze. Before the water. You have to be willing to lose the thing you love and start again. And again. And again.

This is the practice. Not the perfect piece that comes out gleaming. The practice is the breaking. The practice is the next morning when you sit down and make again anyway.

New work to be shared for "protect my peace."

Opening April 11 at TOLK Gallery, 286 Stanhope Street, Brooklyn.

Come see what survived the fire!

100 Day Project - Create Everyday

Benny and I continue to create together 🙏 My little guy turns 6 very soon. Six transformative years.

During the pregnancy my Higher Self advised 'be ready to enter the most creative period of your life.' She was right! What comes next I wonder...

Conjuring joy, authenticity, vulnerability, healing, and, most of all, love to continue flowing. Dreaming up peace and harmony for everyone. A world where we learn to truly love ourselves and one another.
