You're In My Heart

Another collaboration between esteemed potter Suvira McDonald of Suvira Studio and myself. While I sculpted the piece, Suvira applied his masterful glazing technique. The outcome is a distinctive, dynamic sculpture radiating energy and vitality. This is a loving figure with a terrifically interesting skin.
Research has shown sculptures to provide higher emotional support than paintings. Unlike paintings which are limited to two dimensions, the sculpture reflects life in three-dimensional space. Sculpture inhabits the space shared by the viewer. Sculptures are tactile, one can touch them and feel their texture, weight and shape. The sculpture has a surprise function that can trigger pleasant psychological arousal resulting in a deeply satisfying and genuinely invigorating aesthetic experience.

I transform simple, unassuming materials into sculptures that engage the senses and stir curiosity. Inspired by the Japanese embrace of imperfection, transience, and incompleteness, my work seeks authenticity in form and feeling.

The vibrant subtropical landscape I call home infuses my pieces with colour and vitality. I aim for clarity and directness, creating works that are tactile, approachable, and quietly uplifting.

In a complex world, I value simplicity. My sculptures invite interaction, offering moments of connection and lightness. Each piece reflects my own creative path and is made to bring moments of joy to those who experience it.
