As children we collect treasures – stones, shells, pieces of wood – and sometimes we still do it as adults, walking along the shore. Out of millions, we pick one and hold it. In that moment, touch turns matter into memory.

My work begins with touch.

It arises from an ongoing dialogue with natural forms and geological time. Each piece is hand-built in stoneware, shaped slowly to echo the textures of shells, corals, stones, and other silent witnesses of erosion and growth. The surfaces remain raw and tactile – carrying the traces of pressure and time. Glazes open unexpected depths of colour that resemble water, sky or mineral veins – yet never hide the feel of the material beneath.

These objects are not only meant to be looked at, they invite the hand, the skin and the fingertips. In a time increasingly dominated by the digital, we risk losing the sensual experience of matter: the feel of surfaces, textures and weight. My ceramics seek to restore this connection and remind us of the physical presence of things and the intimacy of touch.

They exist between artifact and organism, contemplative forms that ask to be touched, held and felt.
