Potential Inside - Spikes
My work touches upon the power and potential within seed pods as well as birthing new life. It is fundamentally inspired by my experience as a woman and a mother. The exterior finishes are earthy and imperfect with marks of the maker’s process as evidence of origin and building character. In contrast, the interiors are adorned with intricate and often colourful decoration just visible as the inside potential is blooming.
