To me, the history of ceramics tells an epic story of humanity, telling of both our relationship to the land and a geological reading of a unique topography. The inherent simplicity and unique character of rocks, ashes, and clays serve as expressions of place - tangible matter representing abstract ideas. This dialogue between materials and the transformative power of fire is central to my practice.

I am a potter based in London, and I recently built a gas kiln in the countryside, where I fire all my work every couple of months. I have collaborated with fine dining restaurants such as KOL, Gold, CAVITA, Popolo, and Pophams, among others, to make bespoke tableware.
