Shadows cast by the landscape near my studio in Naarm/Melbourne are recorded with iron oxide, then etched away to reveal the pale stoneware beneath. The work juxtaposes two timescales: the slow transformation of geological time that makes clay from stone and the ephemeral shadows that are constantly changing but also anchor the work to a specific moment in time and place on the earth.
The abstracted shadows invite viewers to find their own figures in the contrasting surfaces, connecting deep time to the intimacy of each moment of attention.
