I work with porcelain and other fireable materials. My making processes often involve slip casting with plaster moulds. In some instances, I alter the cast porcelain piece significantly by hand, each piece beginning the same and becoming unique during the making processes. In other cases, the mould making is the longest and most creative part of the work, taking weeks to create the plaster model from which multiples are cast. In my works incorporating metal needles into the clay body, the metal creates new tensions, cracking and fissures, while simultaneously combining with porcelain to tenderly hold the piece together. Every piece records the act of making and the negotiation with the materials.

An important area of my practice incorporates public engagement with clay. I develop projects and workshops to give people opportunities to get clay under their fingernails, use their hands as thinking tools and experience the transformative power of ceramics.
