Layered and textured vessels that explore the beauty of decay and the weathered surfaces of forgotten buildings.
My practice is rooted in exploring the beauty of impermanence– my vessels become canvases for capturing the weathering of time, built up through multiple layers of slips, underglaze, volcanic glaze, sgraffito, monoprint, and photolithographic transfers that echo the graffiti covered walls of derelict buildings. The photolithographic transfers serve to capture fleeting moments in time, immortalising the fragile states of the buildings, and preserving their transient nature. Through this process, I invite reflection on the beauty of decay, the interplay between intentionally crafted and spontaneous deterioration, and the stories that the fragile surfaces hold.
