My artistic journey is an exploration of ephemerality, metamorphosis, and the beauty of decay. Rather than focusing on the broader context, my attention is drawn to the subtle intricacies - the finer textures and details that often go unnoticed - the weathered patina of old walls, the cracks, and imperfections that tell stories of history and resilience. The transformation of metal into rust and the peeling memories that embed into old paint and wallpaper- all captivate me.

​

Derelict buildings fascinate me. Their fractured narratives etched into cracked walls, their worn textures an indication of impermanence. My ceramic vessels become canvases for this exploration. Layer upon layer, I apply slips, underglazes, and volcanic glaze, creating a rich tapestry of colour and texture. The resulting surfaces evoke fragments of walls, reminiscent of those found in abandoned buildings with stories engraved into their being. Through underglaze transfers, my photographs of these forgotten buildings are immortalised onto the clay, capturing a fleeting moment in time.

​

Graffiti, too, finds its place in my work. Beyond rebellion, graffiti symbolises renewal. Layers of artwork accumulate, as do the layers of their history. In applying graffiti to my vessels, I intend to show how the defiance of the art infuses life into these forgotten spaces- filling the void with creativity and expression instead.
