“‘Inside out’ is a visualisation of my inner world. After working previously as a two-dimensional artist, the discovery of self-expression through three-dimensional form and the emotions this evokes has been liberating. The clay becomes a wonderful natural material with which I can create a three-dimensional canvas with gravitas. The form literally informs how I decide to hand paint each unique ceramic artwork. I have always had a deeply emotional connection to pattern and colour, I love how repetition of pattern can be so comforting or triggering and different juxtapositions of colour stir an instinctively emotional response, whether jarring or satisfying. Pattern and colour play with my senses to deliver something surprising. I embrace this with each individual piece. I enjoy how the process of hand-building and painting ceramics enables a slower pace of focused calm. I am with the piece through its entire journey. I explore themes of the regular irregularities of being human and how this might be visualised. The delicate balance of human relationships and the strength required to stand strong in an increasingly disturbing world of digitisation. Embracing differences and celebrating the bold and unusual. This is my Insides out.”The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2025 will be dedicated to art’s capacity to forge dialogues and to afford us sensitivity towards societal concerns, such as ecology, survival and living together.”
