“Inspired by ancient icons and vessels, my work echos the forms of Neolithic fertility statues with a referential blend of contemporary motif. I find joy in parody, blending ancient pottery with 20th century design — creating a dialog between the two with a contemporary narrative of craft.
My approach to ceramics highlights the material, working with textured and heavily grogged clay, reminiscent of architectural materials and bricks. Avoiding studio glazes instead using nerikomi, inlay and the natural clay body, with raw, textured and burnished finishes, echoing the integration of clay to object.
Working with a vocabulary of distinct silhouetted shapes, I like to imagine my pieces as two-dimensional cut-outs and translate them into sculptural pieces, making forms which explore negative space. I approach my work with an understanding that no reference is sacred, seeking to make pieces that invite play and curiosity”
