In an era of automation, repetition, simplicity and depersonalization, Coil, Pinch, Repeat seeks to highlight the unique, human nature of clay. Using coils or pinching techniques, each piece carries the touch of the maker. Some pieces may still have fingerprints while others are near-perfectly blended; regardless, each work is a reflection of the artist's hands and the process behind the creation of their work.

Coil, Pinch, Repeat invites viewers to consider objects in their day-to-day life that maintain a personal touch. Perhaps it's a mug with stains from coffee, a shirt that is altered, or a chair with a perfect indentation of where someone regularly sits. How do our hands leave a mark? What do these objects tell us about our daily habits? What marks do you notice on the objects you have with you? How does this express our individuality?
