My work 'No Use Crying' has been selected as a Finalist in the Fisher's Ghost Art Award at Campbelltown Arts Centre. You can view my work alongside the work of some very talented creatives when the exhibition opens on Saturday 30th of October. The exhibition runs until Friday the 10th of December.​

​I am also currently working closely with Macarthur Ceramics Group and Campbelltown Arts Centre to bring together Macarthur Ceramics Group's first group show.

Scheduled to take place in March-May 2022, the group show will draw on the talents and diversity of ceramic artists in the South Western Sydney region. The exhibition will showcase what our community has to offer, with clay being the material that unites us.
​We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want "
- Lao Tzu
 ​I am ceramic artist creating works informed by issues of gender inequality. In my latest body of work I am using the domestic jug as a metaphor for the role of women throughout history and now, as they are filled and emptied, as the clay becomes an extension of the body.

Whilst feminine voices throughout history and today are often hushed or silent, the household objects we as women use, and have often made ourselves, give accounts of shared experiences that transcend time.

For this specific body of work, I am focussing on the statistic 'one in six'.

The statistics tell us that one in six Australian women have experienced abuse, sexual assault or physical violence from a man within their lifetime. Compounded in this statistic is the experience of the other five in six and their unaccounted experiences of verbal abuse, harassment, discrimination or other gendered inequalities that impact women's ability to make decisions about our own lives, bodies and futures.

Walls adopt the role of the institution, as the white jugs remain largely invisible, but for a small light glowing from within, as the walls pour their contents out into the world through the mouth of the jug.

Earthly and organic in nature, the contents pouring from the wall contradict the cold and severe architecture, casting their shadow in an attempt to alter the wall's appearance.
