The use of repetition has been important in my work, where I repeat the same elements, building new forms each time. The slight variation between the repeated elements draws the viewer in, as they discover the unexpected in the familiar.
Working with ceramic coil building to create lines to for sculptures and drawings. Working with contrasts is a key inspiration, whether in color and texture or by combining soft and hard materials like thread and porcelain. |
