My practice begins with walking as a tool used to connect with place. BS8 3AD.1 was made in response to a residency undertaken in Bristol, England in 2023.
I documented my walk through various modes of writing, drawing and sound recording which in turn were transcribed into mark making and collaged drawings. These formed the basis of a template to construct my walk into three dimensional form. I bricolage ceramic materials, combining different clay bodies and glazes in various states of malleability to create a ceramic strata. Each layer depicts an element of my walk from the formal architectural qualities of its urban landscape to its textures, sounds and smells experienced. An ephemeral moment captured indefinitely in material.
