  •  " highlights vernacular architecture in combination with nature to create multi-component topographies".
  •   "latest series of ceramic sculpture are a convergence of imagined forms and fabricated sequences".
  •  "Using slab-built terra cotta clay, Duke assembles partners bound together through tension and weight".
  •  "Her conceptual practice investigates physical structure, color and texture sought out in construction sites, agricultural buildings, bridges, and manufacturing complexes".

On first looking at this artist, Steve straight away come to mind. His work is quite similar in the sense of his use of the same clay body and how he built his current work as a "physical structure" and by assembling his bricks create a new form.
