My work explores the concept of value, elevating seemingly inconsequential everyday things to reflect their hidden value through a process of re-materialisation. Drawing inspiration from the confectionary industry my collections in porcelain and silver glamorise the simple pleasures in life. Retro sweet treats are distilled down to their simplest forms and reimagined in higher value materials. Pastel tones and the sticky opacity of fruit chews and marshmallows are achieved through the careful formulation of softly coloured, semi translucent porcelain.
