Artist Statement
In my work I explore the autobiographical represented by the figure in stages of metamorphosis. My ceramics figures are often in stances that could be seen as reminiscent of Ancient Egyptian statues. In this body of work I have focused on the hare which holds various myths that fascinate me which often contradict themselves.
Choosing the hare allowed me to express certain characteristics that connect with the viewer on different levels. On the skins of these figures I apply illustrations that depict narrative that have been taken form my life and from my dreams and are often combinations of the both.
I often let my moods dictate a whole piece and create a visual language that translates my emotions through it. In this way my pieces become a collection of diary entries and the figures are essentially blank canvases.

To all,
Unfortunately I have to stop working on my clay work. I hope to come back to it soon, however recent events in my personal life have left me unable to continue. I have no access to a kiln at the moment so I will be looking into this as soon as I am able. In the mean time I will be continuing my illustrations and paintings. Clay has been such a wonderful thing to work with and has helped me through hard times. On a bad day I have gone to the workshop, just being there has often brightened my mood. The feel of cold clay in my hands has been like therapy throughout the last few years and it saddens me to have to stop.

Today I spent the day tidying my workshop, it is looking a little more manageable now. I am the type of person who takes on too many tasks at a time and often finds myself juggle too many pies!
