Based on a process-led approach to making, the work explores the boundaries of material and the characteristics of form – by purposely placing clay under stress to reveal the natural tension and movement in its surface and form. Throughout the making process the clay is pushed, pulled, compressed and sliced to provoke a reaction. The final forms are a combination of these making scenarios, translating a theme of duality in their appearance – the contrast of visual distortion and precision, the stillness and movement in form and the surface deception between synthetic and natural.
