"My ceramic practice is informed by the fragmentation narratives from psychoanalysis and archaeology and the parallels between these disciplines, where layers are slowly stripped away to uncover hidden truths.  Using the body and archaic objects as central references, the work engages with the ideas about transformation and metamorphosis."
