Art is, at its core, a means of expression. A medium to bridge the gap between articulated thoughts and perceived meaning. But it does not have to be so philosophical. For me, ceramics has served as a salvation. When I first sat down at the wheel I couldn't have imagined how interwoven ceramics would become in my life through the following years. Ceramics has served not only as an outlet for me to express myself, but also as a means of working on something without it feeling like work. Something I know I care about, and something I can be proud of. Something not bound by rubrics or expectations. 

I would consider myself somewhat of an advanced potter, I have 3 solid years under my belt. However, I also recognize that I have much room to grow. This semester I want to recognize my personal style and refine it. But I also want my pieces to be more than just pieces. I want them to represent different parts of me. I want them to be art.
