I make sculptural ceramic work inspired by geology, texture, and natural form. I’m drawn to surfaces that feel weathered, layered, and shaped over time, pieces that hold shadow and change as the light moves across them.

I work mainly by hand, usually building forms slowly through coiling rather than throwing. That way of working suits me. It gives me time to respond to the piece as it develops and lets the surface become as important as the form itself. Texture plays a huge part in what I do, and I’m always interested in the balance between control and unpredictability, between something carefully made and something that feels almost naturally formed.

I work mostly in black clay and stoneware, often using oxides, slips, glazes, and surface treatments to bring out depth, contrast, and variation. My pieces are not functional in the traditional sense. They are made to be looked at, lived with, and noticed differently over time.

I’m still learning through the making, and that is part of what keeps the work alive for me. Each piece teaches me something, whether it is about patience, restraint, structure, or surface. What matters most is that the finished work has presence, and that it invites people to stop, look closely, and have a response to it.
