My work combines opposing forms; the vessel and non-vessel, the familiar and non-familiar, and the practical and abstract to extend the perception of the wheel thrown ceramic object. This combination of form occurs in still life painting and my practice investigates what happens when it is brought into three dimensionality. In gained inspiration for new forms from historical objects held within the Queen Victoria Museum; bicycle wheels, glass headlights and brass horse equipment.
