My ceramic sculptures possess a strong voice and a bold narrative about contrast, visual drama and playfulness. My work is driven by my reflection that contemporary life, especially as it is presented on social media, is so often a curated, controlled and idealised fiction. This idea is explored through the physical characteristics of my sculptures, with form, surface and colour acting as metaphors for control and disorder. I aim for sculptural tension and dynamic oppositions in my work.

I will be exhibiting a selection of my one-off ceramic sculptures at Cluster Crafts' London event this spring.
I fire my ceramic sculptures to earthenware temperatures, in an electric kiln. I try to ensure that the kiln is always full, or as close to full as possible, to reduce the number of firings overall.
