Textural Exploration

I work as a multidisciplinary artist focusing in sculpture. My 3d practice focuses on textures particularly those in nature that have repetitive patterns. These tend to be recurring structural features in forms such as corals and some microscopic objects for example seeds, pollen and bacteria. Those influences have inspired these 3d Ceramic pieces and their presentation.

I enjoy making time consuming work that consist of repetitive forms, all of which are individually hand made. This is partly due to my obsession for having a high level of personal input in my work and enjoying the variation that comes with human error. Being able to see the progressions in method and alterations in the representation of the natural textures offers an evolutionary appearance to them. This apparent evolution is my favourite connection to the natural inspirations. Seeing the many pieces together enables you to pick out similarities and differences between them and work out how the progressions have been made.

Our species has become increasingly disconnected from nature. I focus on landscapes of personal significance and/or landscapes that have been disrupted by industrial use. Materials from these sites (often rocks, muds, and bricks) are used through a process-orientated...

Non-linear narratives such as unreliable memories, leaky dreams and deja vu are a central reference within my practice. I address the structure of these forms of narrative using repetition, replication and iterations of time. My work is largely sculptural, using...

Exploring the fragmentation of memory through the physicality of found objects and the spoken word, my work has become an archive of my family history. Due to the archival nature of my work, I replicate ways of preserving my objects through the attentiveness of their...

In my current practice I am concerned with the objectivity and phenomenology of colour. Through using media such as light and coloured acetate, my present work is intentionally focused and uncluttered, allowing colour to be considered as a singularity without any...

With a love for colour my work addresses form and shape and the impact this has on a space. I am demonstrating how the use of bright colour can create maximum optical impact. I’m interested in pattern and repetition to create a visual aesthetic whilst whilst working...
