Banksia Marginata III
slip cast porcelain 2018
“I use a combination of flotsam and jetsam such as sticks, shells, plastic bottles and drinking straws that are eagerly plucked from local beaches to make plaster moulds. I cast these unimpressive and humble components in porcelain and then cautiously construct collections of exotic littoral specimens.”

Banksia marginata
slip cast porcelain 2017
“My works in porcelain explore my fascination with detritus in our natural environment. Using natural and unnatural found objects from Port Willunga beach such as tennis balls, plastic containers and lids, I have moulded, slip cast and assembled a selection of fragile littoral plant specimens resembling a specimen display.”
