I am a hand builder, my process involves coiling, pinching and slab building, using a variety of clays and surface decoration.
My unique sculptural ceramics challenge the constricts of traditional making. I push the materials, allowing the high temperatures of the kiln to affect the final outcome, embracing the elements of the process that are beyond my control.
The tangled ceramic sculptures echo systems in the human body but are also reminiscent of bone, shell, fossils and tree roots found in the natural world.
I am intrigued by the visual similarity between the body’s structure and the flow systems found in the natural world. This ambiguity is a feature of my work.
