Upcoming Project - Ortus
Currently In Progress...
The artist is currently working on this project, while we wait he shares this poetry entry:
We approach the next chapter, where we continue to embark on the tales of the empath’s psyche. We get transported into a realm of memories from a turbulent force of nature. This series ‘Ortus’ (rise in Latin) covers a segment of time that uncertainty becomes a destined experience we all approach.
We return to the four white walls from before, using locally sourced brick to become a familiar encrypted dialogue for the empath. Commemorated in many neutral tones as form becomes uncontrollably organic.
Battling the inner demons,
Stepping into the unknown,
Uncertainty infects.
Peaks and valleys,
Fate standing agar.
Burnt to ashes, then reborn.

Indefinite Sensibility
19 October 2020 - 18 June 2021
A series of sculptures each obtaining distinct emotional surface qualities in response to lockdown. Amidst a virtually connected society, it has become vital to balance our mental health now more than ever. It is important to re-build a community as lockdown has shattered the sense of known in lifestyles and impacted on emotional well-being. By using surface textures, it can help rebuild a community by sharing our emotional experiences through clay.
Earlier this year, I facilitated ‘Reunite to Consciousness’ an online workshop which involved a series of sessions on ways to explore emotions through mark making. I collected these surface treatments and experiences as a catalyst of primary research to initiate my artistic interpretations. My sculptures that are inspired by amorphic emotions are decorated in warm earthy tones, and integrate the personal hidden within modern minimalism.
Reunite To Consciounsess
1 February 2021 - 27 February 2021
Statement
The ethos of Reunite to Consciousness involved a series of workshops, that focused on the relationship between emotional expression and surface treatment. Reunite to Consciousness was run for four weeks, hosted on Zoom and was available for the ceramic community at Central Saint Martins (CSM), and Ceramic UK; an online page available to ceramic artists in the UK.
I collected surface treatments and experiences to use them as a catalyst of primary research to initiate my artistic interpretations in my later project 'Indefinite Sensibility'.
Tokens of the past
1 May 2020 - 6 June 2020
Tokens of the past was a exploratory project that reflected on the stages of my childhood through a series of surface textures. During my times in education, I have battled a society which values people with boldness and outspokenness over those with more timid personalities. I often felt as an outcast and was left feeling forgotten and invisible. Throughout my history, I've been through a spectrum of experiences from bullying to self healing, I express these scenarios and my personal growth through sculpture and surface texture.
