Studio Explorations

My studio practice sits at the intersection of material culture, embodied traditions, migration and personal history. I am always thinking about loss, memory and inheritance when interacting with clay bodies. My early work is in porcelain and Bone China, while my most recent work has been with terracotta and wild clay. I am particularly interested in the liminality and transience of unfired clay, the nature of which speaks to the rhythms of migration, the fluidity of identity, and the constant reshaping of self and community—a process deeply tied to the concept of ethnogenesis and emplacement, where spatialized identities are continually formed and reformed.
