I see my work as a celebration of femininity, and this has been a theme since graduating from Central Saint Martin’s in 2007.
I hand build with porcelain to create sculptural pieces which have an intentionally delicate aesthetic. The purity of the porcelain and apparent softness of the pieces are intended to convey feelings of tranquillity or comfort within the beholder. To the touch, however, the pieces are solid, and the material is strong, telling us that to look again and not make assumptions.
My practice is ‘process-led’, and is the culmination of many years of working with the material and allowing its idiosyncrasies to guide me. The joy for me is that I am constantly problem solving – working out how to achieve a specific look, feel or shape, given the parameters of the material.
