I make elegant hand-built sculptural forms, collectable objects, inspired by my studio’s location in the grounds of a historical steam museum in London. I work with ceramic components, making structures using different clays and incorporating experimental surfaces throughout my practice. I see the process of assemblages, akin to collage and delight in that element of chance and how those unplanned mishaps during the making, evolve into new ideas. I am interested in alteration and the sense of balance throughout the making process but in the final stages of combining components, this is crucial to a successful outcome, intrinsically the clincher.
The work is called “Album et Transmutai”
