I am a Melbourne based ceramic artist exploring the parameters of coil methodology within my practice. Born in the Northern Rivers of NSW, I spent my childhood immersed in the beauties of the Australian landscape, which has undoubtedly influenced my practice.
My sculptural works predominately investigate; the connection between ceramic process and the maker’s state of mind, the materialisation of memories, and nature’s methods of time keeping and historical archiving of past events and environments. Through the methodical and meditative layering of earthy clay, my hand-built sculptures hold time, invoking memory of archaic Australian landscapes.
Upon completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts specialising in object based practice at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 2019, my graduate body of work was selected as a finalist in Craft Victoria’s prestigious fresh! exhibition, which celebrates the best of Victoria’s graduating students within craft, design and fine art disciplines. Here, I was awarded with the Sofitel on Collins Prize, providing me with the opportunity to exhibit works in their exclusive gallery space. Furthermore, I was selected as a finalist in the Wyndham Art Prize 2020, a highly acclaimed exhibition that prides itself in providing opportunities to both established and emerging artists across Australia.
