Portfolio

This curated selection of ceramic and porcelain pieces reflects a dialogue between form, surface, and concept. Each work combines traditional craftsmanship with experimental approaches, including saggar firings and delicate paper-porcelain elements, exploring texture, growth, and the subtle tension between containment and emergence.

Presented here as a professional portfolio for galleries, agencies, and collaborators, these pieces reveal both technical precision and conceptual depth, inviting viewers to engage with the materiality and narrative of each creation.

Botanical Drift

Porcelain, paper-porcelain

A rounded porcelain vessel with a narrow neck is deliberately split open, its surface fractured as though the form has burst from within. From the opening, handmade paper-porcelain roses, stems, and leaves emerge, pushing outward in a slow, creeping movement.

The contrast between the smooth, intact body and the ruptured cavity highlights a quiet tension — containment giving way to growth.

Created in response to the stillness of the Covid-19 pandemic, the piece reflects the rare moment when the world paused and nature was given space to restore, reclaim, and move forward on its own terms.

100 Porcelain Mini Vases

Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness

Living with Crohn’s and Colitis, I created 100 miniature porcelain vases, the smallest just 12 mm tall, each hollow. Most are hand-stained in black, blue, and teal, while some remain white, untouched by colour. Though small and fragile, each vase carries its own presence, symbolising resilience.

When placed together, the vases form an army — a strength in numbers — showing how even what may seem small or insignificant can make an impact when united. The repetition reflects both individuality and shared experience, a concept that resonates when raising awareness for any cause.
