I’ve been making functional work off and on since I first began in ceramics back during my undergrad degree. It’s always been the sort of work that I can get lost in, particularly in the process. This porcelain based series I started a few years back while I was doing my masters and i’ve been developing it since. The principle inspiration for the work is the creation of beautiful handmade objects that can act as a resistance to the disposability of mass consumerism. I like to belive that handmade objects are imbued with a value that can have am impact upon the lives of the users. To me the simple appreciation of the objects that I surround myself with, the rich layers of context, process and traditions that they present allows me to greater appreciate life in general.
beautiful beautiful pieces….and beautiful images! you’re a bit clever aren’t you?!!!
I’m mesmerized by these pieces, truly beautiful work! I can’t wait to see more…

I found a link to your blog on snapdragon’s garden tonight.These pots are great. I love porcelain. The pale blue glaze matches bautifully. I was at gulgong 04 too. I’m not in your league though.
