I am a hand builder, working primarily in porcelain paper clay. I am intrigued by the visual similarity between the body’s internal mechanisms and the flow systems found in the natural world.
Endeavouring to capture the vulnerability and impermanence of both, I explore how action or its lack can result in erosion and degeneration. My fragile, sculptures warp and collapse when high fired, reorganising into precariously balanced, forms that I hope will elicit an emotional response and become a starting point for dialogue.
