Coral Whispers I - Porcelain Sculpture

Each night out in our blue ocean, tiny polyps emerge form their stony homes to feed in the dappled moonlight. My sculpture “Coral Whispers” is a celebration of the intricate beauty that thrives in nature and is a tribute to the grandeur that emerges from the meticulous craftsmanship of life's smallest creatures. 

I create each ceramic art piece through a slow process of hand sculpting, slip casting and a variety of textural finishing techniques. My working process is largely intuitive as I experiment with and learn from the beautifully smooth porcelain clay. Additions of hand painted fibres highlight a contrast between the hard clay and soft textile details, making each piece completely unique.
