Artist Statement
My work endeavours to create a seamless interplay between the mediums of textiles and ceramics.
My own experience of making handmade crochet blankets created a starting point. Each blanket is constructed from many small pieces using the ‘granny square’ pattern. Multiple squares, clashing colours, patching and the aesthetic of seam joining associated with this blanket making are qualities I investigate through ceramics. The sense of comfort derived from crochet blankets act as a grounding point for my ceramic work. The resulting forms are my transitional objects, a psychological reminder of the comfort the very act of crochet gives me. I am enveloped. |
