A Slower Space
The healing and comfort in the making, the meaning and love in the giving.
Handmade thrown porcelain ceramics.
Each piece is unique in size and in shape. There is a beautiful quote by Cornelia Elbrecht, ‘Follow your hands! Your hands know the way; in your head you will just stay in the known; in order to explore the unknown and find new ground, you need to trust your hands and follow the impulses in them’. I feel this quote incapsulates the meaning behind each piece I create and I try to stay intuitive to the dialogue between my hands, the clay and the movement of the wheel. Each piece for me is like a conversation created and held in each vessel. Sherry Turtle in her book ‘Evocative Objects’ explores the emotional response we have with objects ‘as companions to our emotional lives’. I hope this meaning and sentiment continues on in the sharing of these pieces.
