My practice encorporates ceramics and emerging technologies to create immersive installations and works that invite public interaction. Rooted in my perspective as a queer working-class man, my work explores how personal narratives intersect with local heritage and broader, interconnected histories. I am interested in the ways stories are shaped, erased, and reimagined, and how the tactile nature of clay can anchor these narratives in the body, the land, and shared memory.

Ceramics, with its deep cultural lineage, offers me a way to engage with tradition while reconfiguring it through contemporary tools such as digital fabrication and interactive media. By merging the handmade with new tech, I aim to collapse temporal and cultural distances-placing ancient craft in conversation with the present and possible futures.

My installations often recontextualise familiar symbols and artefacts, creating spaces where audiences can reflect on their own relationship to place, identity, and belonging. These works emerge from research into local archives, oral histories, and the overlooked details of everyday life, allowing me to connect personal experience to collective memory.

Through this blending of materials, technologies, and histories, I seek to challenge static notions of heritage and to create encounters that are at once intimate and expansive-spaces where difference can be both seen and celebrated, and where the past is a living, changeable presence.
