About

Described as an innovative fuse of ceramics and bio-plastics. her current body of work is an examination of the what happens when humanity and nature collide. With her speculative designs, she imagines how fragile marine and plant ecosystems will evolve as they proliferate and take over islands of human made detritus, because of course nature always wins.

within tragedy there is also hope.

In the pursuit of sustainability, many of her works are aggregates constructed from broken ceramics she’s found around the studio that are connected using a low fire ceramic mortar developed at the RCA. This eco conscious theme continues with the inclusion of bioplastics made from seaweed-based agar and fish gelatin often taking the place of glaze.

In her practice she seeks to fulfill the role of storyteller, fictioneer and activist pursuing social change.
