She describes her figurative clay works as "full of surface cracks, fissures and imperfections that express the earth, the passing of time, our mortality, and the search for spirituality. I work on them until they look back at me." Pedestal with some cracks and hairlines, some possibly in the firing (appear stable); base rim with chipping and area of crack and repair.
