Who I am

I have always been drawn to the creative fields, and although I still hesitate to call myself an artist, I am absolutely a maker at heart. Be it carving in clay, working with wood, or gluing tiny bits of plastic together, I am in my element when I’m building things with my hands. Jack of all trades, master of none, I have experimented with a variety of different mediums, but sculpting is where my passion lies. 3D space is my happy place.

Growing up I was obsessed with construction toys, which I believe has been the greatest development tool for me to hone my skills. I have always enjoyed bringing things from my minds eye into reality, and constantly chase the thrill of engineering my ideas in reality and seeing things come together and work as I envision them. I am not classically trained, far from it, I enjoy learning through experimentation, trial and error. My creations are an expression of my thoughts and feelings; I make things for fun, and if it’s not fun, I’m not making it.

I’m constantly pondering over new concepts or thinking about what I’m going to create next, and get a great thrill every time I make something I’ve never made before. In reality this is probably just me having short attention span, but I believe in making the best of what you’ve got, going with the flow, and following the creative spirit wherever it takes you.

What I make

My art is influenced by the vast beauty of the natural world, and the bizarre and wonderful depths of the human psyche. My inspiration comes from anywhere between a simple dog walk to the most profound of psychedelic experiences (from meditation and breathwork, obviously *wink*), and as such I like to mix realism with the abstract in my creations.

I enjoy making functional pieces, and incorporating movement and light, as it adds and extra level of challenge to engineer around. Additionally, I find that embracing these elements allows me to infuse more personality and character into my creations, making them truly unique and one-of-a-kind.

As a colourblind artist, I focus less on colour, in favour of shape, texture, and contrast. I am constantly experimenting with a variety of glazes and oxides to achieve a unique and interesting aesthetic, and prefer to let the chemistry do it’s thing in the kiln. The best outcomes are often the unexpected ones.
