Origin

Black and white porcelain are combined together to create this large seascape vessel. It has a unique design that clearly evokes the movement of the sea and sparks the imagination. A refined and organic statement piece.
" Through my work I hope to draw out the beauty and connections which can be made through everyday objects, going beyond the classical concepts of function. Informed by the movement and flux in nature my glass pieces reflects the colours, the changing light, and mystery of the natural world, while porcelain vessels, embedded with mark and gesture, capture an evolving landscape. Tonal blends and colour weave throughout the work and unique surfaces are obtained through thorough material research and testing. I’m fascinated by industrial processes and adapt traditional modelling and casting techniques to make bespoke pieces. Techniques used in both the making of glass and ceramics are crossed and re applied so that unique forms and surface qualities are achieved.
For my ceramics I use a machine called a jigger-jolly, which is an old piece of equipment that is ordinarily used for mass-producing, except that I don’t want to mass-produce my work; I’m interested in how you can adapt a traditional modelling technique to create something individual. Through much testing I’ve learned that there are ways of influencing what the landscapes I create might look like, but there’s always an element of surprise, and I love this aspect in the process."
