About

My practice explores the body, memory, and the quiet power of reclamation through clay. Working with wheel-thrown forms that I often alter, coil and slab built forms that I expand, and slip cast pieces I mould myself, I use ceramics as a way to translate lived experience into physical objects. Fire and water—forces that can destroy, cleanse, or transform—sit at the centre of my work, reflecting both personal and historical narratives of resilience.

I create vessels, chairs, and sculptural installations that can hold dual roles: functional forms and symbolic markers of witnessing. My recent work examines how we see and respond to the world's violence and beauty, and how clay can carry those contradictions. Through experimental surfaces, crystalline and Ash glazes, and slow, attentive making, I aim to create objects that invite reflection, discomfort, recognition, and connection.I am currently engaged in several wood firing experiences across the northern rivers of NSW, with aims to build my own train kiln on my property.

Clay allows me to capture the joy, struggle, and insistence of making. My intention is to create work that feels both intimate and resolute, offering space for viewers to confront, imagine, or simply sit with what they see.
