My work is about recognising a quiet beauty in the ordinary, the unnoticed and the overlooked.
Living in the city this is often found in apparently insignificant details of the built environment and the urban edgelands – the negative space on a wall where something has been removed, the sculptural qualities of abandoned industrial objects, weathered surfaces marked with wear, traces of things gone.
I translates what I notice, the visual language of functional things and the store of material references all around us, into ceramic sculptural objects and wall panels. Re-presented in this way the source is close enough that the things I make seem familiar but with enough distance that they become abstract and occupy their own space
Using processes and materials that allow for an element of chance – mono-printing from textured plaster with slips and clay or layering glazes that will react with each other – my ceramics play with a balance of unexpected variance and creative control.
I am a founder member of haptic/tacit, an artist led collective that creates opportunities to make, show, and explore ambitious modern craft through a series of thematically-driven exhibitions
