About Me

I create abstract sculptural ceramic vessels exploring the relationship between landscape, material, memory and emotional response. My work is rooted in a longstanding connection to place and in the belief that landscapes can become embedded within us, carrying memories, feelings and a sense of belonging.

I work primarily by hand, using contour as the starting point for each vessel. A line drawn from the landscape informs the shape of the base, establishing a physical connection with place. From there, the making becomes intuitive; I respond to the clay and the developing form, allowing the vessel to evolve through the process rather than working towards a predetermined outcome.

My work sits between the graphic and the organic, the controlled and the intuitive. Surface, mark-making and form are used to explore the rhythms, textures and atmospheres of place, while my background in design continues to influence my sensitivity to line, composition and structure.

My practice is quiet and contemplative, creating objects that invite connection, familiarity and reflection. Although rooted in particular landscapes and personal experience, I hope the work allows viewers to bring their own memories and sense of place to what they encounter.
