Contemporary artist currently focused on ceramic sculpture and some pottery. I use alternative firing methods, underglaze painting, and often use locally harvested clay. One part perfectionist 1 part hillbilly mess. www.mmeng.art Yellowknife, NT, Canada

My mold making process in a too small too messy but warm kitchen table. I feel like my dedication to the work shines through the frustration of not having a proper studio. Or even a real house. #ceramicsculpture #ceramicarts #contemporaryart #nwt #canadianartist

Here’s hand sculpture 3 of 8. I started getting more detailed with these sculptures. My plan is to make around 200 or so slip cast hands coming out of the wall, and I’m casting them with local clay that I’ve been processing. #contemporarysculpture #nwtart #ceramicart #wildclay

Here’s a work in progress for the day. This is hand 2 of 8 that I’m planning on making plaster molds for ceramic slip casting. My goal for February is to get these molds finished. Still gotta work out some lumps. #contemporarysculpture #nwt #ceramicart

What of the dead? As we frantically pivot away from social media platforms funding the oppressive forces looming over us, what of those we lost over its lifespan? Their Facebook pages sit like digital headstones. And the pang of grief knowing that they won’t be revisited as we flee to the next town.

Zadie Smith has quickly become my new favourite author. I also feel like reading her work makes me better at writing, especially writing about art, because her descriptions are both poetic and pragmatic.

I’m treating these masks like a song, and very focused on emotional response. Some of it is personal stuff that’s hard to get out, and some is an attempt to add personal and intimate reactions to a social environment. I’m not sure where to take this one yet. #claysculpture #contemporaryart #wip
