From There to Here and Everything In Between

As an emerging ceramic and mosaic artist and still new to the medium, I love the storytelling ability of clay and colour. Mixing ceramics and mosiacs and weaving in other mediums to tell a story is a delight. My current obsession is exploring the idea of how time passes and the 'patterned fabric' it leaves behind to tell a story. I'm particularly interested in colouring clay with stains and oxides and using detailed mark making. This vessel explores my own life's journey from being born South African to becoming Australian. I am now a hybrid. More Australian than South African by years but I tend to shapeshift depending on working company, music, place and space.
