I am currently working on creating urns that speaks of both historical form and current issues.  When reading Jared Diamonds book Collapse I was inspired to work with socio/political issues that may lead to the destruction of the American Empire. The surface of the urn depicts images that express issues of corrupt government, the destruction of the environment and the downfall of our societal structure. In contrast I am also creating vases that display images of people and events that unite humanity and give a glimpse of hope for the future.
