The work draws from the dynamic relationship between my inner world and my external environment. Exploring conversations around mental health, sociology, psychology, and parallel practice with meditation and yoga

​

A core element of my practice is mindfulness, which I define as the study of energy and attention.

Based in Indianapolis, Indiana USA, Kassie works from her home studio apartment as well as her ceramics studio at Wapahani Arts Center. She works as an independent art handler and curator.

Having navigated through mental health challenges, housing insecurity, and physical health barriers, I focus on how art can facilitate healing, not only for myself but for others. My art bridges personal and universal experience, delving into sociology, psychology, and the meditative aspects of creating. The environment and the ongoing conversation around the impact humans have on the earth often have a place in my work through concept, material, and process choices. Through the work, I aim to foster connection, whether between individuals / communities, or between humans / the environment.
