Question what you know, 2025 glazed ceramic 36 x 31 x 31 cm'Question what you know' takes the form of a vessel, a container for the social history we inherit. Wrapped around it are stereotypical male and female figures locked in recognisable, gendered poses. As the vessel holds these images together, it suggests how cultural expectations are collected and carried forward. The work asks viewers to consider how unquestioned traditions shape identity, and whether inherited ideas about gender are a weight we choose to keep.
