The focus in my work is on the interplay between one living thing beside another.

 

My ceramic sculptures are a story of our relationship with each other, and our self.

 

The work is a mixture of hand built and thrown pieces that are then altered. The emphasis is in the contrast of the texture and the choice of porcelain and black stoneware as well as the various tones you achieve when combining them together. The placement of the individual ceramics gives them a new dimension by capturing the relationship between the objects.

 

I aim to reflect the journey of life onto my vessels; the history we all have to tell, and what makes us interesting humans. Life and our journey does not always show at first glance, but it is within us, and might only be visible if you look closer.
 

A Standing sculpture of two figures that symbolises parent and child, it is difficult to let go and let your child find their own way in life. We feel the constant urge to protect and look after our offspring and hold on a little longer before letting go. For the child it can be difficult to let go of the security and warmth of childhood and become a fully individual adult.

 

The sculpture suggests a time when warmth and comfort is still needed by parent and child, when one leans on another.
