<sup>My practice sits between photography and ceramics, shaped by a constant dialogue with time, touch and emotion. Over the past few years, I have been drawn to how these two processes can speak to one another, how clay, with its softness and resistance, can hold the same sense of memory and impermanence that I find in film photography. Working this way allows me to explore my experiences of neurodivergence and anxiety through materials that respond to hesitation, care and repetition.

In my most recent installation, Set in Stone (2025), these ideas come together through projection and mixed media. A moving image plays across a large ceramic surface, surrounded by smaller clay fragments printed with collaged photographs. The sprawl of photographic decals across clay explores the instability of attention and the shifting rhythms of the mind. Each process, from printing and layering to cutting and collaging, becomes a way to slow down and make sense of scattered thoughts.

The work embraces imperfection and fragility, using making as a way to pause and reflect. What is left behind are fragments that carry traces of touch and time, pieces that feel both broken and whole. Through committing photographs to clay, I am trying to build a new kind of reality, one shaped by instinct, memory and emotion.</sup>
