Pods are a depature from my figurative work but reflect some of the same ideas. Nature designed the pod to house and protect the delicate seed. The pod is strong and sometimes spiked to keep the seed safe from harm. I've taken this general concept and applied it to my ceramic pods. I use the clay shell to symbolize protection and safety for our dreams and desires. These dreams and desires represent the much cherished "seed." With both the seed pod and the ceramic pod, the contents can't be seen and the seed, just like the dream, cannot be realized without care and time.
