This pliable medium holds within it the potential for immense transformation. I throw the clay on thewheel, and shapes emerge, slowly rising and expanding under my touch and cohesion. It's a dance ofcreation, guided by intuition and honed through years of practice. Each vessel's surface becomes anarrative space. I am drawn to the human form in its most primal state – unclothed and unadorned.The naked figures I draw onto these pots are celebrations of the human body, each curve and line atribute to our shared humanity. These figures are more than mere decorations. They are stories,encapsulating moments of vulnerability, strength, and the kaleidoscope of human emotions. The actof decorating each pot with these figures is deliberate and thoughtful. I use tools and techniques thatallow for the intricate detailing necessary to bring these figures to life.The process is slow and meditative, requiring a steady hand and a focused mind. Each line isscratched into soft clay - a technique called ‘sgraffito’. For me, the clay is a word in the story I amtelling, a note in the melody of the human experience. Once thrown and decorated, the pots undergothe transformative power of fire. The kiln, with its intense heat, is where the raw clay and my artisticintentions fuse into a singular expression. It's a process filled with anticipation and with a degree ofunpredictability. For me it’s a celebration of life in all its complexity, rendered in earth, mineral and fire, inviting othersto explore our shared humanity.
