Notes


About 

I am a visual artist who makes ceramics in the expanded field, recently I took part in Frieze Sculpture 2023, and you can still visit my public work Another Mother in The Artist’s Garden on the Thames. I work closely with the process of psychoanalysis and this inspires my ongoing studio project Sigmund Freud’s Ashtray from which many clay sculptures have gone on to be exhibited.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork 

Big Dipper and Squeeze are both pencil studies for sculptures that will emerge in clay. These postcard drawings form a part of my ongoing studio project ‘Sigmund Freud’s Ashtray’ which explores the father of psychoanalysis’ favourite ashtray, including the remains of his cigar, as bodily sculpture: You too can see the artefact on his desk in the eponymous museum. The background stripes reference my favourite childhood candy coloured bed sheets, these often feature in my drawings, and in 2022 they were the focus of my solo show Reading Between the Lines, held at Sid Motion Gallery.
