I work in two quite different ways.
One is the making of waves and the other is constructing.
One is loose and wild, the other is fine and measured – similar to how I live my life,
drifting off and trying to disappear in response to staying strong and building my home.

Waves
Æĵµ
In one process the clay is formed on a wood-based shape;
in its soft state it wraps to the surface, picking up the texture and form in a fluid arc.
The wave is reflecting the constant movement in time,
how nothing stays the same but is influenced by time.
It is the reflection of something material,
transforming in the firing as the wood burns away to leave a wave-like memory,
a solid fragment of something fluid and ephemeral.
Our life experiences change us, leaving lasting marks,
but the ¡®solid¡¯ moment of experience is gone forever.
I have travelled many places in search of something,
only to find that each place leaves nothing but a fleeting impression.
It is these fleeting moments that find permanent form in my wave work.

CONSTRUCTIONS
°Ç¼³. °ÇÃà
After a while working in fragments and burning away,
I feel the need to construct pieces.
This is an organic process built slowly using strips of clay
that are first torn apart, then carefully wrapped around each other and put together.
It is like plastering an invisible broken bone – a form that reveals itself
as the clay is worked around and upwards

Every action in clay refers back to a mental state.
There has to be a connection between thought, hand, and space,
where each element investigates the other and creates a channel of communication.
If I repeatedly fall into the same black hole then I will investigate that path,
how I got there, and how I can get back up again.

The work is also an investigation into social identity as
I represent a small part of human behaviour.
It can be a question of how our response to emotional situations changes and influences us.
At the end of the day it all makes sense;
a little piece of history with each piece marking a milestone from the past.
They have all been a subject of change and a question of defining time.
What happens in between is the inspiration.
I work to find balance between my spontaneous nature
and the responsibility of being an artist and a mother.
