A vast, green place to explore and even get a little bit lost, I have often taken solace in the Park Lands that surround Adelaide’s CBD. Providing solitude from the hustle and bustle of the city, the Park Lands are never too far away.

Many times I have found my attention captured by the large Corymbia (gum) trees that feature prominently in our Park Lands, often wondering how old they are and pondering on the changes they have seen over their years.

Inspired by the constantly changing appearance but yet steady and permanent nature of these beautiful trees, Ghost Gums (solace) seeks to transpose these qualities.

Utilising materials all sourced from the ground, there is an exploration of the refined and unrefined. Through very intentional and subtle manipulation of porcelain, glaze, scale and repetition the work calls for quiet consideration.
