In Inheritance, I consider how expectations of women are passed down through families and how those expectations have shaped my own life. Drawing from textiles and quilts, I use geometric patterns that shift across ceramic forms to consider the tension between prescribed roles and individual lives. Repetition echoes the persistence of inherited cycles, while the mineral richness of terra cotta represents accumulated experience. These works hold my questions about what I carry forward, what I feel bound by, and what I choose to change.
