My Inner Beasts





2017


My Inner Beasts was selected for British Ceramics Biennial Award 2017 as one of out 10 projects at the old Spode Factory in Stoke-on-Trent. 

"Everyone has their own inner beasts.
Most people are good at keeping them locked inside.. but not me.
Often they come out when I least expect them to and getting them back inside again to the safety of the darkness can be a difficult task.
I have confronted these anguish beings, removed them from their natural habitat to study and examine how they react in the light.
Trapped inside they grow ragingly huge, but outside their sadness and melancholia shows and they become small enough to put on a shelf.
Maybe if I am lucky, they will stay there for good."
