The artist’s near-religious practice of daily making is in itself a compulsion for growth. Her forms and small sculptures take on various forms inspired by the natural world as well as other influences such as childhood stories and music. Like a growing plant, tendrils emerge, cultivated by the artist’s hand and later curling and settling during the firing process – taking on their own movement and character. What results is a combination of intent and alchemy, a corroboration between maker and material, sometimes in porcelain and Murano glass, others in terracotta and Barley glaze.
