The studio is open Saturday 26 April from 12-17
I work with ceramic techniques and materials, in both traditional and experimental ways. My work often starts with an interest in sites or phenomena where distinctions between nature and culture get blurry. I explore and challenge distinctions between test and finality, and between artistic and scientific approaches. I often work with series of objects, with wall reliefs and extensively with glazes.
