Allen's work commemorates various emotional
and psychological influences, including family, loss, beauty,
and mystery. From the significance of home, the transience
of relationships and the awe of nature, Allen's fondest memories

my pottery as individual utilitarian forms that mirror my
perceptions of beauty, mystery, nourishment,
and celebration."
