STATEMENT | I do not hold a degree in art. My path was a non-conventional one, with influences firmly rooted in folk art. I am drawn to the way clay’s immediacy and unpredictability make it fertile ground for ongoing experimentation. I am driven by an intuitive process, which is reflected in my choice of tools and techniques.
I am currently interested in reworking select objects, that hold symbolic meaning for me, as a means to explore ideas around nature, womanhood, domesticity and more. It is my hope that my intuitive style of working helps to imbue these ordinary objects with glimpses of shared human experiences and emotion.
