It all began with an idea. I wanted to share the journey of bringing together individuals through the transformative power of creativity and collaboration.

The main idea was for the movement to take place with the hands of the dancers, movement and yoga stretching with lumps of raw clay as a performance.  These will be transformed by myself and made into sculptures or panels to display alongside the exhibition of photography, visual arts, performance and film/video.

As a teacher, ceramic artist and painter, I sought to provide a 'safe' space for asylum seekers, disadvantaged young people and adults, integrating the arts with dance, drama, yoga, and music. This endeavour would not be without its challenges, as I navigate unfamiliar territories, seeking to bridge the gap between different backgrounds and skill sets

Throughout my life, I have always felt a deep connection to the materials and elements around me. This bond extends beyond simple appreciation; it’s a part of who I am.  As I immerse myself in the tactile world of creation, I find that my experiences with different media reflect a larger relationship with the natural world. In this exploration, I discover the parallels and lessons that come from working with clay, reminding me of the beauty and complexity of nature itself.
