about
I am a ceramic artist who throws and hand builds in Naarm (Melbourne), Australia.
I’m interested in the ways people have always made, decorated, and used vessels to extend what our bodies hold, keep, and lose.
My sculptural work often responds to nature, tangled up in memories. I’m drawn to patterns that repeat and change across bodies, time, and landscapes. In one series, I explored patterns of growth, erosion, and shelter in textures from the coastal lands and waters of Victoria’s south east. Currently I am working on a series of large handbuilt vessels that explore repetition and spontaneous patterns in growth.

environmental impact
To reduce the negative environmental and social impacts of making, I share resources and reclaim and repurpose materials as much as possible. I’m keen to work with other makers to source materials responsibly and develop a more circular material economy.
