I am a Cornish artist inspired by the beauty found in decay. Weathered surfaces and derelict buildings captivate me, particularly the layered history that is revealed through peeling paint and chipped plaster. I respond to these environments by crafting layered and textured ceramic vessels that combine my love for photography, printmaking, and abstract painting in three-dimensional form. 

​

My work utilises slips, underglazes, textured glazes, and photolithographic transfers that reference abandoned walls marked by graffiti, stains, and human touch. I am especially drawn to the remnants of carved names, initials, and humorous phrases etched onto plaster or sprayed onto walls. These informal marks are like quiet acts of preservation. Though often overlooked, they document and record moments of presence. They acknowledge that people were there, and that the buildings were used, transforming neglected spaces into unintentional archives. 

​

By distorting and deconstructing my vessels, I explore the relationship between form and imperfection, mirroring the conditions of the structures and objects that I observe, like boarded-up windows, and the discarded, crushed spray cans that have lost their original forms. Photolithography plays a crucial role in my creative process; I incorporate photographs that I take of these aged structures as a way of preserving and immortalising their fragile states, capturing fleeting moments in time and sparking conversations about their histories.
