Hello Hi...
First... a warm welcome to new subscribers and followers on instagram! I have had such amazing feedback on my wallplate still lifes and so many enquiries, especially from those of you who couldn't get to my gallery popup last year or to Sydney Ceramics Market 2024.
So, I thought it would be great to do an online release of a few new pieces from my 2025 body of work.
Unfortunately, I have made the difficult decision to only ship within Australia and not to risk these one off pieces with overseas shipping. Thanks for your understanding.
My work is a personal exploration of everyday life, captured through still life compositions that blend the intimate with the universal. Using ceramic plate-like forms (made to hang) as the foundation, I create scenes inspired by moments and objects that hold personal significance. These works are rooted in the intimacy of my lived experience, yet they resonate with broader human themes, offering a quiet reflection on the familiar, the fleeting, and the often overlooked.
To capture these moments, I use my phone to document scenes from my environment – simple, yet meaningful fragments of daily life. I then apply these images to the ceramics, allowing the tactile, enduring nature of the clay to give permanence to the fleeting images from my digital snapshots.
Through this work, I aim to connect with the viewer, inviting them to reflect on their own experiences and memories. The objects and scenes I capture are both deeply personal and widely relatable, reminding us of the shared beauty in the quiet moments of life.
