We go on journeys our whole life. Some take us to new countries or mountain tops. Others, stay within our minds.On the Pot’s Road follows a journey I undertook. I walked across the Cairngorms with a pot strapped to me. Just as I was observing the changing landscape around me, I was also noting down the places my mind was taking me to.

Through the action of the body and the mind, I reconnected with the world. On the Pot’s Road is an outcome of this journey. The Forest of Pots creates a narrative of the land travelled. The dierence of materials on these repetitive vessels follows the path I took. Inspired by natural materials and shelters humans and animals build and live in, the kiln serves as a heart of the installation. Fire creates objects and brings warmth to a home, but it also destroys.This duality and fickleness of its character is present in the pots made from fragile porcelain and charred wood.

Rebirthed in fire.

This project ran alongside my Art & Philosophy dissertation research (that you can access through the publications page). Through which I was exploring how art can be made in collaborations with nature and for nature. I focused on creating objects of shelter that I'm naturally drawn to.

During the 3rd and the most formative year of my studies, I spent a semester abroad. I used this time to properly delve into material and ceramic research. In Media Res is an exhibition I was working towards at the time. There is a couple of subjects I was exploring that turned out to be defining for my practice. Other than research, I explored how art in the public space acts as performance in its absurdity. Walking became a way of creating and telling narratives. For the last few years, I have been unconsciously searching for a way to merge walking and art. I found their meeting pint in the form of ceramics.

As always, exploring, moving and collecting has been directing my practice. For the last few months I have been based in Sutherland, the North of Scotland. I have been exploring all its beaches and collecting sand and driftwood. I'm currently learning how to wood carve as I only access a ceramic studio when occasionally helping out local artists. I have been searching for ways to combine ceramics with wood joinery. I'm intrigued by the point where these materials join.
