I have a studio at WASPS in Albion Road, Edinburgh. I trained at Edinburgh College of Art, gaining a BA in Ceramics and then graduating in 2005 with an MA in Sculpture. I have a fascination with the inescapable changes that happen in our internal lives and also externally in the natural environment. A recent exploration of the experience of working within a hospital has led to large drawings and wearable sculptures looking at personal space.
I use a broad range of materials and processes, including porcelain, limecrete, textiles, found and recycled materials.
I exhibit regularly in the UK and have won professional development awards. I divide her time between practicing artist and mental health work.
‘TransFORM’ relates to both the process of production of my work, clay becomes ceramic, fibres become felt; as well as the choice of raw ingredients, wood from the beach combines with found plastic to become a talisman for our worries. The sculptures comprise of eclectic mixes of materials and indiscriminate combinations between new, old and found as I value all as interesting and worthy of examination.
