Tearing, cutting, folding, stretching, assembling, pooling the qualities of the material – porcelain because of its strength and fragility – it is initially the ways of playing and exploring forms, space, and structure that informs this work. It is thrown with a range of textures to distinguish different surfaces, allowing new relationships to emerge.
It gives us an opportunity to explore our perception of an object, its shapes, its forms and composition, discovering a hidden beauty, beyond function and predictability. It keeps questioning space and volume, function and purpose, balance and fragility in search for a purer aesthetic.
