I’m an artist based in Brighton UK, mainly specialising in ceramics. I studied mixed media fine art for six years in London, where I explored different mediums and worked as an artist assistant, learning firsthand what it truly means to work as an artist. I started to experiment with clay towards the end of my studies in 2017 and from there it was love. Clay is the perfect material for me to express myself, it’s earthy, alive and has memory. It became even easier to connect to the subtle mysteries I feel whispered through nature and to communicate the meaning of my practice, which is an exploration, an expression of gratitude and a connection I feel to life and energy.
My practise focuses largely on sculptural vessels which are my bodyscapes. They have bones and curves, evoking both feminine and masculine energies. They are our bodies embedded in the earth, a depiction of where we’ve come from, where it all started and what we’re still apart of.
Alongside sculptural works, I also make functional objects such as plates and bowls. I glaze them with colours and textures I find in nature. With these, I aim to bring a touch of nature into peoples homes and the gallery space to act as a reminder that nature is a miracle and we a part of that miracle.
Every piece is hand built using pinch pot an coiling techniques. Each and every piece is unplanned, I let my intuition and flow takeover and produce whatever feels right in the moment.
I teach ceramics workshops alongside my own artistic practice. I believe everyone is inherently creative but many of us haven’t had the guidance or encouragement to explore it. Creativity comes from the core of who we are there’s no right or wrong. In my workshops, I help people reconnect with their inner artist and experience the joy of self-expression through clay.
