Hand-built narrative vessels that use humour, decorative imagery and satire to explore contemporary social and cultural issues.

Humour is central to my practice. I use satire, visual excess and moments of ridiculousness to approach subjects that can be uncomfortable, political or personal. Figures, text and recognisable cultural references accumulate across ceramic surfaces, creating scenes that appear playful at first but reveal more complicated stories on closer inspection.
