Dreams pose a challenge to our rational model of the world. I am interested in this borderland on the edges of our conscious experience, the tension between illusion and reality, ethereality and permanence. Crystallising these experiences in sculpture, creates a bridge between these different states of reality, from the subconscious to the material, to create a landscape of dreams.

The series of dreamt objects are made of porcelain, an inherently fragile material, which, through the making process has the ability to warp slightly, bearing relation to the distortion of our waking remembrances. The objects are presented as a group, a stream of dreaming consciousness, you could say, connected, by a single object or moment which triggers the next memory.

The miniature size of the work also references the domestic environment and ornaments, by creating objects of this scale, the viewer is invited to peer into a parallel, condensed world, only accessible by imagining ones place within it. Each piece is glazed in a solid glossy black, a veil through which the original colours have been lost.
