Domeland Creatives

My studio is located in Gunnison Colorado on a unique acre next to the city county line. We affectionately refer to this land as "Domeland" - The Soul Acre which is also home to my family and an artist in residence program. Our property is comprised of a Dome house and a Mongolian Ger or as many people call it, a Yurt. This is a nomadic structure is the oldest occupied living structure in the world dating back 10,000 years.

Studio Ethos / About Me
 

At Terra Forma Studios, clay is approached as both a humble and extraordinary material. It is, at its core, earth—something we walk on, grow from, and return to. From soil to vessel to shelter, clay has evolved alongside human life, carrying both utility and meaning across time.

The studio is grounded in a respect for this lineage, and for the quiet discipline of working with a material that asks for patience, attention, and care. Making here is not rushed. It is a steady engagement with process, rhythm, and place.

Opening this studio was a deliberate choice—to build a life and practice that are in alignment with family, land, and a slower, more intentional way of working. As a father, I am interested in creating an environment where making and living are not separate, and where clay becomes part of a shared, grounded daily rhythm.

The work emerging from this space reflects an interest in impermanence and landscape—what might be called impermanescapes—where surfaces, forms, and processes hold traces of time, erosion, and change. Clay, in this way, becomes both record and participant in a larger conversation between the hand of man and our relationship to the natural world.
