About
I am working with ceramic sculpture, making and arranging multiple components into complex narrative sceneries.
I'm excited by the dialogue between components and the way one's unconscious can direct the composition.
I use robots as a vehicle to depict characters and events from my own personal history.
I've depicted my alcoholic Father who died when I was 9 years old, my pill eating depressive Mother who died a couple of years ago and my angry Sister.
I'm trying to impose my feelings and history onto container objects that traditionally have no feelings.
I think the viewer initially are drawn to my figures by perhaps mistakenly thinking them to be toys.
However closer examination reveals their rather darker narrative.
They invite you into an absurd world where things are not what they seem.
Robots have feelings and plants come alive, gracefully posing, as to seduce you into their sinister world.
I want my work to look like a very skilled child could have made it, clumsy and elaborate at the same time.
My intention is to create ceramic compositions that have an underlying story and mood.
I hope the interpretation of my work isn´t too fixed, I intent to make it open for the viewer to filter their own references through, to make sense and contribute to the story themselves.
My aim is to create a visual poetry, rooted in the ceramic tradition and based on my own personal story.
