I am a multidisciplinary artist working primarily with clay, exploring themes of loss, memory, and absence through material process. My practice uses slip casting, throwing, and hand-building as forms of repetition and labour, allowing making to function as a way of holding experience within the work itself. Clay becomes both medium and metaphor: fragile, resilient, and shaped by touch.
My current project, Parrhesia, explores the moral duty to speak truth, even at personal cost. The installation reflects on the missed possibility of motherhood and the often-unspoken losses carried within women’s bodies. Central to the work are 400–500 suspended porcelain eggs, representing the average number released during a woman’s fertile lifetime. Floating and delicate, they cast shifting shadows that register absence—marking potential that is unfulfilled and spent, held between presence and disappearance.
I have a background as an award-winning producer and director in moving image, which continues to inform my approach to installation, spatial rhythm, and narrative. I completed a BA in Designer Maker at Hastings and an MA in Ceramics and Glass at the Royal College of Art. Alongside my studio practice, I teach workshops and offer one-to-one throwing lessons.
