Studio Notes

The marks my mum skin leaves on the ceramics she makes, and how she’s taught me to use the same tools my grandmother used to carve away a form.

pieces and scraps I find to recreate in textile form

Fossilised in stone, with edges of calcaire built up over years outlined in white.

It involves creating a physical cocoon that viewers can enter, allowing them to actively participate in the artwork.

shifting chaos and home, moving into structure and stability.

studies in raw clay

the slow intentional process of making is vital to the form the piece takes

finding lines in the body and lines in the street
