MENOPAUSE AND MORE
Menopause and More reflects a stage of life often experienced privately, yet shared by many. Through nerikomi vessels and figurative elements, I explore menopause as a period marked by disruption, humor, vulnerability, and renewal, while also considering the broader transitions that come with time, perspective, and self-rediscovery.
Familiar objects carry emotional moments—heat, stillness, uncertainty, resilience, and joy. Hidden spaces and layered patterns echo transformations not always visible from the outside.
I see ceramics as a living language where function and feeling meet. Clay holds touch, pressure, and time, becoming a quiet witness to transformation and adaptation.
Caught in The Middle
The last pour
Can't zip it up
Under control
True friendships
Transforming
Use it or lose it
Alone but not lonely
Tossing and turning
Meltdown
Life is not Black and White
Perspective
Me time
Losing connection
One foot forward
Final flow
Where Now?
Sagging strength
Still got it
Opportunities
Heat escape
Mood swings
