The starting point is my fascination with the world beyond our sight. The scanning electron microscope opens up this world to us, and I use images of insects, parasitic organisms and human internal structures as inspiration for my work.

I combine these images to create my own form of genetic engineering. In doing this I aim to produce work that displays aspects of human emotions and behaviour , whilst also wanting to highlight human interference with the world of science which I believe is due to curiosity and the desire for knowledge and understanding.

My ceramic pieces take on a life of their own and I want them to be visually unsettling. Viewers should engage on a variety of levels with the pieces free to experience touching the textures and in turn fulfil some of their own curiosity.
