My fascination with fractals, living creatures, and life cycles is reflected in this body of work. The organic forms are deliberately in a state of tension with the mechanical textures stamped into the clay and the unnatural colours that lie beneath and peek around the edges of the lichen glaze. Viewers may simultaneously feel a vague sense of familiarity and alienation, enough to compel intimate examination of the surfaces, visually and through touch. My work is animalian, yet reminiscent of plants, and of fossils. New or old? Looking at this work, you may question your own position in time by questioning whether you are viewing objects of the past, present, or future.
