I create slip cast porcelain sculptures of various component parts, arranged to create playful yet precarious compositions. Conceptually I explore the notion of utopia as a process (rather than a solution,) in which the promise of an ideal is never realised but remains on an endless loop of desire. This work brings together seemingly disparate forms and textures, from Minimalist-inspired Brutalism to the Maximalism of Memphis Design. The contrast of clean and seemingly infinite forms, with playful and colourful imperfect protrusions, aim to represent the precarious harmony of hope and the perpetual reach for the elusive promise of utopia.
