Ceramic Sculptor

writing stories and poems, with a background in design, layout and illustration

My creative practice is rooted in food, but extends into writing, photography, storytelling and experience-making. I see food as one of the most universally accessible creative mediums (everyone’s got to eat!): one that is immediate and sensory, but also capable of carrying memory, history, culture and emotion. It is an ever-evolving and increasingly relevant medium, and I’m interested in the space it occupies between art, everyday life and human connection.
