ROCK / SWAY - porcelain that moves. Small, rounded vessels tip and tilt with the forces thrown at them, but return upright to their strong core. This series developed initially during 2020. Happy alone and joyful in jingling groups of two, three or more. Polished naked exteriors with colourful glazed interiors.
HOLD / STILL (tall) - a series of upright porcelain vessels that stand tall. Calm and meditative, these mindful vessels have been likened to nests. Carved naked exteriors with glazed interiors.
HOLD / STILL (globe) - a series of porcelain vessels that pause to rest. Able to stop and embrace the moment. Wide ranging in size from petite to much larger. Carved naked exteriors with glazed interiors.
GATHER - this series of porcelain vessels hold and contain. Meditatively embracing all that needs support. Carved naked exteriors with glazed interiors.
NEBULA - we are but specks on a ball of gas and dust. These porcelain vessels attempt to recreate a ‘nebula’ using glaze & glass on the interior of the polished & carved exterior.
KEEPERS - containers for memories or secrets. To house and keep safe the private and personal, be they thoughts, ideas or items.
Lidded porcelain vessels with carved naked exteriors and shiny glazed interiors.
GROWN UP - this series of vessels has carved, scarred naked exteriors. The carving in my work marks, shapes and reshapes the clay body, akin to our life (experiences, memories, encounters) marking and shaping us. These vessels retain colourful, shiny ‘hearts’.
S T I R - lively yunomi of white porcelain with cobalt porcelain swirls and twirls. Clear glazed interior through to the rim of the exterior. Diamond polished exterior below glaze 犬. These vessels are ready and waiting for your favourite beverage. Maybe a decaf flat white, a jasmine tea, an iced latte, water and more. . . the choice is limitless.
S W I R L - these emerged from the 2021 E Q U A L vessels as variation 4 - blue and white porcelain wheel thrown vessels that aim to create swirls and twirls of movement. Clear glazed interiors, diamond-polished naked exteriors. S W I R L sit happily alone and also enjoy company when in gatherings.
E Q U A L Variation 3 - carved porcelain vessels adorned with solid silver strand that shifts and pulls when fired. Naked exteriors with transparent glazed interiors.
These E Q U A L bottle-like vessels sit happily alone yet also enjoy company in social/family gatherings.
