Always curious and questioning, I naturally explore different techniques, materials and forms; both sculptural and functional, responding to the world around me on personal and societal levels. My work is currently inspired by how the development of our society has affected our eco-systems. Our need to deconstruct and re-imagine our economy in relation to climate change is reflected by deconstructing and re-imagining various forms. All my final year handmade work is once-fired to reduce carbon emissions. I hope to stimulate thoughts in others to wonder how things are made, to look beyond the material and appreciate objects from their own perspectives.
