The ceramic works reference the ancient Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone and the relationship to transformative processes, including loss and change, as well as creation and destruction. Evoking grief, the myth of Demeter’s loss of her daughter, Persephone leaves her mother and her adolescence behind to become Queen of her own realm in the Underworld. This body of work was exhibited in the solo ceramic installation, Becoming The Persephone at Art Gallery of Peterborough, 2009, and was reviewed in Fusion Magazine by Canadian art critic Gil McElroy.
