Artist statement Making pottery is how I have come to understand where I live, and right now, I am concerned about our environment. I am making covered jars, urns really, for endangered species. I think that endangered species mirror back to us the condition of our environment. Urns are traditionally used to hold ashes from cremation. I am making urns for endangered species as a metaphor. The urns are sized to hold an average human’s ashes. On each urn is an image of each endangered species in Pinellas County. This county is about 38 miles long and 15 miles wide at its broadest point. The urns are displayed empty, as the species are still alive – the emptiness is a sign of hope. In an effort to understand the breadth of species that are struggling, I have included examples from the primary variety of species (reptile, bird, invertebrate, fish, mammal, amphibian, plant) A percentage of the sales of these pots will be donated to Tampa Bay Watch.
