What If Shells Walked?
A glazed ceramic sculpture series, exploring the ocean and the creatures that live within it, a world completely unfamiliar us. Firstly, creating quick observational drawings of these creatures, and then abstracting the forms further through the process of sculpting, and working alongside the posibilities of the clay.
These works begin to sit somewhere between the deorative, though the inate connotations ceramic works have, and the frozen and fossilized state of alien beings from beyond our world, occupying their space with their potential for life.

Rooted Rituals - Tales of Natural Wander
Collaborative exhibition organised by myself and 5 other incredible artists, Fay Pritchard, Sadie Tankard, Imogen Griffiths, Felicity Bithell and Mireia Pujol at the beautiful gallery Comme Ca at Hope Mill.
Below is a poster I designed for the event, alongside our proposal with the exhibitions intentions.
As well as the poster, I also designed a zine available to take from the show, discussing each artists individual intentions for their practice, images of their work and contact information.
