    Specialism

    Ceramics

  • It is in the ever-changing face of London, the dilapidation of buildings and the continuous superimposing of one edifice over another, epitomised by building sites, demolitions and new constructions, I find the impetus for this body of work.

    I want to commemorate and revere often unrecognised or under-appreciated spaces and a lost post-war utopian ideal.

    I have a passionate enthusiasm and curiosity for the printed image, their manipulation and how they fit, with painting and drawing, onto three-dimensional forms.

    Using images taken from my photographic documentation of these sites, I use screen-print to build up multi-layered ceramic surfaces. I manipulate familiar images into new configurations, putting them into new relationships to create disconcerting combinations, repeating and overlaying so that the recurring printed image becomes pattern; they are then montaged and constructed into the form to become 3-Dimensional collages.
