Title of Work: “Reorganised narrative Layers of Sharp edged humour”

Artist Statement:
I am an artist and maker who works primarily with discarded and broken found materials.

My MA project involves exploring the use of broken, discarded and unwanted ceramic objects as raw materials for the creation of new artworks. By using familiar, everyday, ready-made objects to create pieces with strong narrative and humour, I aim to encourage the viewer to connect to both the work and their own experiences and engagement with day to day objects. With a focus on sustainability and recycling, I hope to provoke discussion around the subjects of what constitutes a raw material and how we create and view value and worth.
