About

As a ceramic artist, I work primarily with slab-built stoneware to create panels, sculptures and vessels that explore the enduring beauty of geometric design. My fascination with tessellating patterns and historical ornamentation draws me to the architectural heritage of places of worship and significant buildings, from the intricate carvings of Gothic cathedrals to the elegant symmetry of Islamic design.

Through research into the traditions of stonework, masonry and decorative arts, I seek to capture the essence of these historical forms. My work is a dialogue with time, reflecting on the persistence of patterns and the effects of erosion. Using a process of layering and assembling hand-formed tiles and sprigs, I build surfaces that evoke both the precision of architectural detail and the organic transformations that come with age.

Each piece is an exploration of repetition and rhythm, patterns emerging and dissolving, inviting the viewer to contemplate the passage of time.

My colour palette is restrained and elemental, enriched with oxides that stain and highlight surface details. Gold leaf is used sparingly, a luminous reminder of the sacred and precious in even the most weathered objects.

I invite the viewer to reflect on time, memory and place. Whether it sparks the memory of a distant place or simply the joy of intricate pattern and form, my hope is to offer a sense of harmony and peaceful connection to the enduring human impulse to create.
