I'm a sculptor. I work with clay. Sometimes porcelain, sometimes terracotta. I make works using the tools of cake decorating and royal icing which has a historical connection with porcelain production in Europe and matrilineal craft practice. Craft and hand making is meditative and creates a loop in my practice. The ideas form the making, and the making forms the ideas. It’s like a continuous cycle – my experience is the basis.
My works all begin from an autobiographical point in some way or other...I’ve been working with pastel hues more recently, the pinks and blues directly relate to the gendered colour palette of my childhood. A recent commission for
The Powerhouse Museum, Sydney allowed me to focus on Jasper blue well known as the signature colour for Wedgewood pieces spanning the last two centuries. Coming up, I have a solo exhibition mid-year at the
New England Regional Art Gallery of my Canyon works. And, soon a new body of work will be exhibited with
Cynthia Corbett Gallery at
Collect Art Fair in Somerset House, London!
