Artist Statement
Honouring memories through tangible objects that require time, reflection and a deeply personal touch to create. Each piece is crafted to embody the various motions of grieving, engaging directly with materials that guide the creation in a collaborative dialogue. The flow of energy, the shifting of emotions, and the rhythms of mourning shape the evolution of each piece, translating the intangible experience of loss into form.
Prioritising the physical over technical precision, focusing on shapes and silhouettes that evoke the sometimes-fragmented nature of memories. Through this approach, each piece becomes a vessel for personal stories, acknowledging the resilience and vulnerability inherent in grieving
