5) How do you see your ceramic sculpture relating to contemporary sculptural concerns/dialogues?

I don’t. In part because I don’t pay much attention to “ceramic or sculptural concerns” I have found it limiting to the work I would like to explore, especially when I try to do it consciously. I think there are similarities between my work and other artists’ work and I see things pop up in art magazines all the time that I thought I was working on alone, but I have found that this ‘competition for ideas’ ultimately futile and arresting to my work. Maybe my ego is just too fragile or I just don’t care enough about what others think to engage in contemporary art dialog. I know that at times when I have attempted to, I have caught myself lying to impress my audience and I have heard other artists do the same. I don’t believe it is intentional, I think part of it has to do with the limitations of language in trying to describe the moments in one’s ‘work space’ that go beyond the spoken or written word.
