about
My aim is to make objects that arrest attention and invite handling.
Current avenues of exploration include light and shade, simplicity and complexity, group dynamics and line-making. I’m experimenting with basic forms and their variations. I'm also enjoying incorporating locally-found materials into my work.
I'm based in Brampton, Northeast Cumbria, and am a regular exhibitor at local events and galleries. I've also shown work in galleries in Northern and Southwest England, and Scotland. I'm a member of Northern Potters Association and Bensham Grove Pottery. See my events page for the latest news.
I have a BA in modern languages and an MA in Southeast Asia Area Studies. After working in the fields of education and environmental justice, I studied ceramics at Newcastle College, completing a FdA in Contemporary Ceramic Practice in 2011. I've recently completed an MA in Contemporary Art and Archaeology at the University of Highlands and Islands.
My project work for this MA involved film-making and making multimedia artworks. My award-winning short film Stuff can be viewed here, with further information about this project here.
