<p class="font_9">My practice revolves around the transformative processes of ceramic. I utilizes these processes to explore the themes related to transition.</p>
<p class="font_9">I started my journey with clay through a BA at Hertfordshire University in 2016. This coincided with dealing with a traumatic event in my own life, so this event became entwined with my work. The final output for my degree was focused on creating a body of work to encourage a dialogue with the viewer. I tried to capture what I felt were moments in time that represented the darkness and beauty that could coexist within at the same time, creating an internal conflict.</p>
<p class="font_9">That human element is key in my practice and I followed through on this within my Masters at Staffordshire University. Exploring touch points, transitions and what it means to let go of control. I did this through experimentation with materials and processes. Allowing the processes and the materials natural characteristics to determine the&nbsp;outcomes. Learning to give up control, to align with the moments in time of each process.</p>
<p class="font_9">On completing my Masters I moved to Northamptonshire and am currently establishing my first studio in Chelveston.</p>
