These works explore the dialogue between clay, photography and the natural world. Built by hand from slabs of clay, each sculpture develops through a process of folding, joining and constructing rather than modelling. Impressed textures and handmade stamps become part of the surface, recording the physical act of making.

Photographic transfers of trees, volcanic landscapes, flowers and other natural elements are fired permanently into the clay. Rather than illustrating nature, these images become embedded within the material itself, allowing landscape and sculpture to merge into a single form.

The works are part of an ongoing investigation into transformation, memory and geological time. Clay, once sediment, carries traces of the earth; the photographic image captures a fleeting moment. Fired together, both become permanent, creating objects in which material, image and process are inseparable.
