The studio is open Saturday 26 April from 12-17
I am an English artist based in Oslo. I tell material stories through sculpture and time-based media, using clay as the grounding point. I explore various relations and histories between clay, bodies and other forces, such as magnetism, water and electricity, through practices of making.
I’m inspired by early and premodern worldviews associated with the liveliness of our physical surroundings and the elemental correspondences between all things within them, from western esoteric teachings to archaeological sites. My process begins with material experiments and the secret properties they unveil, I translate these findings into a poetic and playful visual language which draws closer to the imaginative and sensory experience of situations.
Through clay, I attempt to renegotiate my relationship with our environment and reconsider our histories from an interdisciplinary and relational perspective, beyond the traditional humanities.
