Title: TEXTURE, FORM, FLOW and everything in between

I began this series with only one thought in mind: to polish up my hand-building skills. I had no specific vision for

the end product, only the hunger for a challenge. I went in solely with the intention of creating larger and more

complex shapes, and using these new forms as a blank canvas for applying new textures to emphasise their

distinct features. I wanted to see just how far I could go.

By the 3rd form, I had completely surrendered myself to the process of creation.The more shapes I made, the

more eager I became to try out every possible shape and combination of form, colour and texture. I realised that

my feelings, imagination, and most importantly, my free spirit, were the sole drivers of the process. For me, these

clay lumps are not inanimate objects, but sort of like my imaginary friends. With every piece, I begin with a similar

foundation. The further I work, the more I feel these little friends calling out to me about how they want to ‘be’ in

this world. This is how I begin to envision exactly where to shape new openings, and complete the flow and

textures of the vessel. They give me their names before the vessel has even been fired, and I know exactly what

colours and treatments they need to finally be complete.

This project symbolises my journey as a whole, as it can never really be complete. Growth is endless and the

real goal is to take notice and love it all, every step of the way. As an artist, I will spend the rest of my lìfe building

up and adding to my kingdom of imaginary friends.
