Creating with clay, inspired by the Cornish landscape.

I’m a Canadian- Thai artist living on a Cornish family farm. My work is inspired by the views of the Camel Estuary, from my summerhouse studio, and the pastoral scenes of our day to day life. Influenced by my ancestral culture, I explore the relationship between identity and landscape.

Process

The main clay body is a personal blend, reclaimed, and often sourced from Dobles, St Agnes.

Often the elements of the land are incorporated in the work, such as found clay from our farmland, ashes, harvested rain water, and even milk produced from our dairy to seal the pots, an ancient method.

Found objects gathered from nature such as feathers and stones are used for mark making, and shaping.
