Your Seat at the Table – Concertina Book
Food is so much more than sustenance, its culture, tradition, connection and creation. However, our interaction with food is dictated to by wealth, financial status determines whether food is a luxury or a necessity. This piece showcases plates from all wealth statuses on the same table to remind us of financial disparity and that food is a privilege, a privilege many do not have.
Made by a Woman – Crocheted Wearable Sculpture
Throughout history women’s traditional art forms have been relegated to craft, excluded from fine art and undervalued. This piece celebrates these art forms and honours the women who have gone before, carrying their knowledge and skills forward.
Exploring the Unknown – Soft Sculpture
There are times in life where we face unknown and unfamiliar environments and we must adapt ourselves. This adaption means adding a new skill or action rather than completely transforming ourselves to fit into a new environment. We can explore new experiences without fully changing who we are and forgetting where we’ve come from.
Seeking Peace – Handbuilt Ritual Objects
There’s beauty in intentionally seeking peace in our everyday lives, of creating rituals and routines that create pockets of peace and calm in our lives. Not only do these pieces reflect peaceful rituals in my everyday life, but the act of creating these pieces serves as a way to regulate my nervous system and find peace in creativity.
Time Taken – Slab Built Jug
The technique of Sgraffito is one that requires effort, time and intention. This piece showcases the time and effort that goes into creating handmade pieces and looks to celebrate the process that is handmade.
Human Touch – Handbuilt Mugs with Handles
In today’s mass manufactured world we’ve removed the value of the handmade, of the human touch. We have forgotten the beauty of pieces riddled with marks that prove it was made with human hands. These mugs celebrate the tactility and marks of handmade.
Nature’s Bounty – Etching Plate
Nature holds some of the most intricate designs and patterns, but we’re so used to them that we forget they’re there. This piece focuses on highlighting the textures of fruit and how something seemingly normal like a fruit tart can be beautiful and worthy of capturing.
In The Everyday – Screenprint
Sometimes the most beautiful things are found in the simple everyday moments that pass by many unnoticed. Seeing beauty in the world is about opening your eyes to the simples scenes around you everyday and intentionally seeking out moments of appreciation.
Down memory lane – Acrylic on Canvas
Down memory lane is a visual exploration of the common expression. If you could stroll down a street representative of your life and memories, what might it look like? Would it be inviting, would there be glowing windows, would it be colourful, or might it be somewhere you wouldn’t want to walk?
Freedom in duality – Acrylic on canvas
Humans are complex beings made up of both logic and creativity, one does not need to be solely right-brain inclined or solely left-brain inclined. In reality we need both to work together, and when we realise this we allow ourselves to explore our interests and skills more broadly and deeply.
