Terrapolis I find it fascinating that our material clay is the one constant while technologies continue to develop and push our designs and methods in ceramic making forward. My body of work illustrates how 2D laser technology works with precision on the surface of...

Foyer Foyer to be understood in its French context loosely translates to fire place and Home, a safe place of gathering and sharing. This word in its integrity grounds the conceptual nature of my practice with its ever changing and personal understanding to other and...

Untitled Composition Pushing the boundaries of the definitions of "body" and "object" brings us to a point of transition; no longer is the body required to be simply represented, but instead can be subtly suggested through visual metaphor. The fine line between body...

Igneous Futures My practice is rooted in anxiety instigated by the accelerating effects of the Anthropocene. Humans face challenging futures in a polluted world with diminishing resources and extreme climates. Human extinction is highly probable. I imagine a future...

Small Worlds Opposed to a direct evocation to form and texture, my work could be described as ambiguous, almost fictitious in its contrived representation of geological landforms. Rooted in glaze experimentation and manipulation my work is ingrained in material...

Abstract Identity The central concept of my work was a combination of inner space, negative space, rough and distorted volume on uncompleted figures. The figures that are emotionally shaped and affected by space carry heavy tumour volume and stand on pointy tripod...

How Mathematics Contributes to Art Whenever I think of mathematics, which I studied at university, and arts, which I have always been interested in, I wondered why I have been attached to both completely different subjects which have exactly contrasting...

Hold, Scratch, Slip, Spring Interested in the details seen on the human body, I have often documented forms and patterns that interest me. These either go unnoticed because they are overlooked, or they are purposefully hidden for being unnattractive. I have recreated...

Diagram vs Drawing Finding a sense of order in the public spaces and heading to make something creative of the experience, my work is a trip through the mind. Finding the senses and the functions of a changing cerebral centre, through which direct reality can be...

Colossus The final sculptural outcome for my masters, Colossus (2017) embodies what I would define as the qualities of the monumental body through facilitating its own particular spectacle. The bodies I present within my sculptural practice exists within a diverse...

Events I present transitional events, hybrids of physical and emotional experience concerned with states of crisis and transformation. There is a deep connection with the infinite and interconnected elements of natural and urban landscapes, in abstraction, they mutate...

Primarily a painter my work shows evidence of traditional figurative painting focusing on the genre of still life. This representational painting is juxtaposed with a more painterly approach leading to abstraction that explores the language of paint and colour. By...

It's Not Just Black and White There is invisible disability; impairment not immediately apparent but impactful nevertheless. In a practice that is essentially autobiographical, Rachael explores her own experiences of being a former circus performer and climbing...

My work is an exploration of the Welsh landscape and Welsh culture through the form of functional ware. The maps of North and South Wales contain rich information; the South being generally busier and areas in the North much quieter. Using different techniques such as...

The Intimacy of Objects Experience; empiricism, cause behind memory, ignited and recalled through interaction with form and recognition. Objecthood, artefacts as portals to memory, connections to places and relations. Selective, through choice of retaining so to...

Long Instrumental The process of making is as much a part of the final outcome as the physical piece itself. Taking a lowly material such as mud; formless and dissolving, and creating an object able to convey a sense of simplicity and quietude. The vessel is humble,...

The traditions of the potters wheel are used as a starting point; the core elements of function and raw clay are never lost. Yet, the boundaries of its ambition are crossed by pushing form to its limit; the simplicity of glaze not distracting but emphasizing convex...

Volcanology These coil and sculptural built forms have a strong alignment with nature embodying mountains, volcanoes, great edifices to behold, with a hint of illustrative prowess adding a simplistic but yet still curiously playful element. The work aims to reach out...

There is an importance in death, life is fragile but to celebrate this fragility can be therapeutic and offer a different perspective from which to view the world. My work is organic, inspired by fungi and coral creating a sense of growth and at the same time decay,...

Working according to Formalist tradition, the form of these symmetrical profiles is as important as the negative space that surrounds it creating a certain rhythm as the eye moves from piece, to space, to piece again. Architectural in their structure, their...

Whilst functional, these tiles also create optical illusion, suggesting space through strategic placement and choice of colour. Their encaustic earthenware surface is left unglazed or to achieve a water resilience, decorated with a clear glaze and able to decorate and...

This body of work examines the effect of time and movement on our landscape, specifically the evolution of the coastline. Large scale fragmented sculptures are informed by objects collected from the shore; objects altered and shaped by their journey across the sea....

As a potter, the use of materials directly sourced from the landscape informs the ethos of my practice. The pot is used as much as a reminder of the earth's nature as it is a functional vessel. As opposed to buying materials from a shelf, materials such as wood ashes...

Time, Memory and Residue Ephemerality, a state of flux, memory, and the fragmentation of relationships are concepts rooted in my artistic practice. I explore these ideas by making humble, familiar objects, such as vessels, alongside the ambiguous, small, intricate...
