Using simple form to frame the clay’s natural qualities light enhances the surface flaws and the physicality of the surface. Inspired by natural environment the work aims to engage the viewer with the fragility, strength and beauty of the laminated bone china clay and the delicacy of its surface, evidence of clays memory.

Boundaries and boarders, intersections and connection points are necessary, where times change and sections separate, in order to evaluate beginnings and endings.
