We are surrounded by a world of visual excess. We engage with our manufactured environment and process it in a mechanical way, filtering an overabundance of information. Our lives are a collection of moments, memories, fragments of a bigger whole, which we relate to each other and assemble together. My ceramic sculptures are investigations into the patterns that connect our lives to our surroundings. They represent the dialogues that exist in a dynamic world where everything is linked together. Events spread like a ripple, affecting everything else in the network. I am interested in giving these virtual actions a visual form. Contradiction is also an important part of my work. The world is beautiful and artificial, overbearing and vulnerable, patterned and disordered, connected and disjointed. My pieces are intuitively playful, frolicking in apparent incongruities and hidden associations. I celebrate the youthful freshness that this brings to my investigations. Childhood is ongoing throughout life, in that perceptions are never fixed and we are naturally shaped and reshaped by experience. |
