About the Artwork
Porcelain tiles, moulded, sculpted and carved evoke the flora of the Australian coastal landscape, both arboreal and aquatic. Some tiles are lustrous, others marble-like in finish. The forms drained of colour, bleached in the heat and organised into a grid formation, at odds with their organic nature. My work explores the intersection between the natural and constructed world, the confluence between permanence and decay, using porcelain to echo the fragility yet resilience of the natural world. Organic forms are constrained and contained within the grid, alluding to our role as curators of the environment, for better or worse.
