Multi-layered artist. Sculpture, installation, crafts, digital art/sound/film. Identity, routines, connection, provocation, commonalities & difference

Experimenting with lichen textures created with ce Experimenting with lichen textures created with ceramic slips. Rock canvases showcasing otherwordly forms and colours. Not categorised as a plant, but the result of a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae, and a indicator of good air quality.
Fascinated by all the varieties, I'm wanting to capture an essence of these amazing textural growths. Messing with bicarb & vinegar, bubbles, grogs and different clays the explorations continue...

WIP Thinking about togetherness and separation; my WIP
Thinking about togetherness and separation; my eldest is moving to new terrains. Stimming with clay whilst thinking about the two of us at the start of this journey, surveying our new geographies - in place and in life - I was lost in thought for an age.
I played with the clay as a sensory experience with no agenda or design in mind. When I eventually looked down, this was the piece that had emerged. An example of automatism - where there was no control over the manipulation of materials and the body was driven by the subconscious.
I'm now deciding whether to fire it, effectively freeze-framing this moment in time, or to put it unfired in the shallows on the beach and film it dissolving; a separation.

It's so wonderful to see Meander against the golde It's so wonderful to see Meander against the golden glow of autumn. When designing this sculpture, I imagined how it would look in all the different seasons, but being based on the other side of the country means I hardly get to visit. So, I was over the moon to stumble across these beautiful images online.

Do head over to @cslbpphotography and cslbpphotography.co.uk for more stunning images.
