ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a Ceramic Artist based in Glasgow and I respond to Place with abstract ceramic forms that play with light, shadow and reflection; produced by hand with an experimental process using traditional materials and techniques.
My work is primarily slip-cast from models I produce from printing 3D models, CNC shaping foamboard or carving plaster.
Through site-specific projects using clay, language and digital media I explore a sense of place. I integrate words and meaning such as Robert MacFarlane's glossaries that describe landscape to form a narrative layer to respond to and move between site and studio in a reflective process.
I am continually developing my methods of model and plaster mould making, combining digital modelling, printing and hand-drawing, balancing complexity with functionality.
