As a ceramic artist working primarily in porcelain, I am drawn to the material’s inherent fragility—its delicacy not as a limitation, but as a conceptual tool or central motif. My work explores the ancient vessel form as my medium, using its timeless silhouette to evoke both function and symbolism while offering  this medium’s unique possibility of combining form and surface. The predominant characteristic of ceramics—fragility—is central to my practice; it becomes a strategy through which I explore themes of impermanence and place.

Living by the ocean in West Cork, a place of immense beauty, I am continually inspired by the ephemeral beauty of the light that reflect both on and underneath the ocean’s surface. These transitions of light and colour are fleeting, yet profoundly grounding. My vessels echo this fleeting beauty, capturing the quiet, luminous moments that pass effortlessly. In this way, my work exists not only as object, but as a meditation on the tension between permanence and transience.
