My Artwork
Angelic Remnants
Ceramic forms, hand-built from earthenware and smoke-fired using natural minerals and materials. I called them, 'Angelic Remnants' as they feel as though they have risen through the ashes and taken on new life. I am interested in the figurative space in-between the sculptures and the relationship they have to each other. Evoking gestural compositions, creating their own language.
New Horizons
'New Horizons' An art book printed onto collage and tracing paper. A series of mono print experiments combing, collage and text.
Poem by Victoria Katharine - 'Swirling, scattered like the wind, howling like a wolf. Pulsing like a siren, to the sound of drums. Dancing through the trees, in circles, like the sky, whispers. A new horizon.
Salvation Mountain
Natural Pigment on canvas with bronze powder. 'Salvation Mountain' is an image taken from a significant dream.
The dream was of an inner city on the move in the middle of the desert. Horses in amour, soldiers and families were on the move, walking around a pyramid moving in an inward spiral. The feelings in the dream were fear, concern, compassion and awe. I looked up the meaning of awe in the dictionary and it said 'a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder.' This was my feeling both around the painting and the dream.
Smoke Fired Vessels - 'Moon Pots'
Ceramic pots and vessels. Hand-built from earthenware and smoke-fired using natural minerals and materials. Each one with a completely unique surface texture and surface. The smaller pots are a series of small hand held 'Moon Pots' resembling otherworldly landscapes.
