I am an artist working in the field of ceramics creating fragile porcelain pieces which are inspired by the environment or by peoples relationships with the environment and with each other and which often incorporate finds to support their narrative.

I have been having a really interesting time recently experimenting with porcelain slip and magazine paper so here are a few of the more successful results. The challenge has been to create pieces which are strong enough to hold together but fragile enough to look as if they might float away – too much glaze and they collapse in the kiln, not enough and they really do blow away! Here are a couple of examples of some of the more successful results. I would love to know what you think.
