Figure

I am drawn to working in porcelain because of its delicacy, translucence, and the way it can carry both narrative and emotion. My exploration of the human figure began after the birth of my daughter, Heidi, in 2005. The arrival of my children sparked a deep curiosity about the body as a vessel for story, emotion, and connection. Over time, my work has evolved to include endangered species, creating imagined habitats that allow us to inhabit the worlds of the animals we are losing.

I am fascinated by the space between the human and the more-than-human. I explore the relationship between anthropomorphic and zoomorphic forms, observing how they blur, transform, and reflect one another. This practice nurtures empathy for the natural world, encouraging us to see ourselves in other species. Ultimately, my work is a reflection of the idea that we are not separate from nature – we are nature, with our bodies, instincts, and stories intricately entwined with the living world around us.
