My work with clay begins with a desire to create objects that offer a sense of calm and quiet presence. I want my pots to carry a stillness, inviting a moment of reflection.

At the heart of my recent work is a deep connection to trees and wooded landscapes. Being surrounded by trees offers a profound stillness, and I aim to translate that peaceful experience into the form, texture, and surface of my pots.

Using coiling and pinching, I embrace the mindful rhythm of hand-building. These slow, meditative processes are not only grounding but also echo ancient and primitive ways of making. Each pot becomes a paused moment in time, my connection to the clay.

The outer surfaces reflect the form and bark of trees, as well as the smoothness of burnished clay. The interiors are inspired by sky, water, and open space, mirroring the interplay between the internal and external world, much like meditation.

Through soft glazes, colours, and tactile surfaces, I hope these pieces offer a way to connect with the quiet beauty of the natural world.
