MY STORY & PHILOSOPHY

Welcome to my website.

​

Originally trained as an Architect, I discovered ceramics at the beginning of 2021. 

I never touched clay before but deep down, I knew this would be something I would enjoy. Architecture certainly helped me to throw myself into this wonderful medium and shapes the way I make ceramics

​​

My  body of work relates to the fast changes affecting our environment by developing a strong concept to convey a wider message through my creations.

 

My pieces, both functional and decorative, are completely unique yet share a common narrative.

Through sculpting and throwing large vessels, each piece I creates features intentional cracking and deformations to allude to the melting of ice caps while the defragmenting and ‘pixelating’ of certain pieces represent humanity’s role in the decline of species. Through this deliberate breaking and altering of the ceramic itself, My provocative approach finds a sensitive balance between art, design and craft, with the result having a deep and powerful impact that resonates today more than ever.

​

I want to raise awareness about the way our modern way of living is harming our planet. Ceramics, with its centuries-old history, is a resilient natural medium that has withstood the test of time – whilst we often fail to consider the impact of our rapid advances as a species.

​

Although my work intentionally stays on a small scale to minimise its impact on resources, its underlying message encourages a more sustainable way of living.

​

Scientists are raising awareness about climate change, but this can sometimes be difficult for the public to understand. I believe artists can have a valuable role in making these messages more accessible. We have the power to engage our audience on an emotional level and to tell stories as a means of connecting with the issue. This is what I am trying to do today

​

Each piece is unique. My creativity has no limits and I am always looking forward to the next idea.
