Artist Bio

Rediscovering drawings I made on a trip to Mexico focussed my attention on the circularity of time as viewed in pre-Hispanic cultures in Meso-America. Using pictographic and mathematical elements in both the ritual and yearly Mayan calendars coincide with my current ceramic practice.

Combining ancient symbols with atomic shapes that I have been making recently to juxtapose the way that time can be viewed.Making cogs and horological imprints to maintain the cyclical, ever moving concept. This is not merely a linear progression but a dynamic interplay between past, present, and future

Selected Work

Name: Time Marches On

Ceramic wall-based timekeeping sculpture, hand-cut with impressed symbols to form varied shapes. Glaze colours reference hours from my sky photographs, sunrise to sunset. Twelve raised glazed posts symbolize hours but are scattered, reflecting celestial movements— Sun, Moon, and planets—observed and valued in Mayan timekeeping and cosmology.
