My ceramic vessels act as canvases to explore the passage of time on surfaces. Throughout the various stages-before and after firing -the clay transforms. Layer upon layer, I apply slips, underglazes, and volcanic glaze, creating a rich build up 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 its rebellious connotations, 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.
