<\/span>“My work is all about memory recall, found objects, and using that to unravel my emotions and my inner world, findings new ways to make links from the past to the present, to unravel desire, allure and beauty. Wedgwood holds a very special place in my emotions. The blue and the white ceramic colour combination and matt texture hold an allure I remember from childhood, pieces my mum would collect and hand down to me were her prized possessions.<\/span> One of my first artworks I made was using a\u00a0Jasper Conran Chinoiserie Green<\/a> plate,<\/span>\u00a0photographed on a torso.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>“<\/em>The colours, the organic design and textures, the craftsmanship and the history and story behind the pieces all add to such an alluring experience.”\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
“<\/em>A blue and white little jewellery plate that I would put my rings and earrings in on my mirrored dressing table. It\u2019s such a strong memory of coming of age, noticing the way I was changing from a girl to a woman. Independence. How to dress up and be comfortable with my outer appearance. And realising precious moments and precious things are what’s truly important.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>“<\/em>Since my mother gave me my first piece when I was around 12, I would then hunt through her cupboards and find other special plates and things and ask her if I could keep them. The\u00a0Jasper Conran Chinoiserie Green<\/a> plates<\/span> were another strong memory. I love the boldness of the designs and the strong use of colour. And the feeling of history and of past times.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
