Welcome to Field Notes, a space for tracing the ideas, references, and observations that shape my work as it unfolds.
To begin, Field Notes is an evolving archive of my process. Part research log, part visual diary, part excavation. It’s where I collect the fragments that shape the work: textures, forms, systems, and references encountered through travel, observation, and time in the studio. As a Miami-based ceramic artist working between disciplines, somewhere between maker, explorer, and self-taught scientist, these notes trace how ideas move from the world into material.
This first entry begins with my time as a Creative Fellow at The Wolfsonian–FIU. Spending two weeks immersed in the museum’s archives was both an honor and a turning point: an opportunity to slow down, study closely, and engage with objects that hold layered histories of design, architecture, and material culture. Being invited into that space, and given the time to look, especially at this moment in my practice, felt deeply meaningful. Not only as a “recovering academic,” but as an artist invested in building a personal archive of forms and ideas that continue to inform the work over time.
