I'm a ceramic artist. My work explores the relationship between strength and fragility, examining how opposing qualities can coexist within a single form.
Deeply informed by my background in psychology, I draw inspiration from a long-standing interest in the human emotional experience of life's highs and lows. My work is shaped by personal experiences of severe early life trauma — experiences that have shaped my existence, which I now breathe into my pieces.
As a reflection of my experiences, my work is a sustained exploration of emotional states such as fear, loss, and despair, alongside resilience, strength, and recovery. Rather than presenting these as opposites, I hold them in parallel — acknowledging their simultaneous presence within the same body.
I'm a self-taught potter. In my quest to express the complexity of the human experience in material form, I continuously explore a range of hand-building, sculpting, and carving techniques to create highly intricate and detailed ceramic designs.
