Hush I, 2023 porcelain 27 x 20 x 19 cm

The essence of 'Hush' seeks to unravel the layers that define us. The complexity within these vessels, mirror the unique and intricate depths that lay within.

A process I have developed, fuses porcelain and fine fabric together, allowing me to purposely contour each fold within the vessel, sculpting each piece from the inside out.

The porcelain body is simultaneously fragile and strong, contributing to the feeling of vulnerability that is intrinsically woven within the human condition.
