For me, creating with clay is a way to be like a child again. Following my curiosity, I play with expressing the movement, mood and textures of living creatures. I am an avid magpie collector of techniques and different mediums- using oxides, slips, and underglazes to add rich layers on my ceramic sculptures.
My family has migrated in each generation since my grandparents travelled from China. Growing up in New Zealand with Malaysian parents and now raising my own family in Wales, a sense of finding belonging runs through my body of work.
The poetic landscape of South Wales finds its way into my art, I am lucky to live by the Heritage Coast with its castles and windswept beaches. My work is fired at a community kiln in Cardiff, it’s also where I meet with other makers and collaborate on ideas.
Folk tales have always given me inspiration to become a storyteller myself. I hope that my art may give you a moment to wonder impossible things that perhaps you’ve forgotten as a grown up.
