Introduction / Statement
An object is a time machine, a stasis engine, fusing past, present and potential futures.
The domestic space and the ceramic object go hand in hand. Domestic spaces are formative spaces, the stages for our most intimate power struggles. We dress these stages with objects – things that we own and love say something about us.
My objects are born out of my need to express myself through making, my practice rooted in the physical experience of my body in the world. Perennial concerns are the beauty and vulnerability of skin. Desire and control. Competition and collaboration. The shades of grey between the comedy inherent in the masculine and the need for useful models of maleness.
Perhaps these concerns sit uneasily in domestic objects. They are, at once, an act of blatant display and a yearning for communion.
