LIGHT, SHADOW
AND THE ART OF THE FOLD
Porcelain meets Origami.
Slip-cast and press-moulded folded parchment paper and linen, captured in porcelain.
Folded surface distortion in concrete and plaster.
Stripped-back colour focusing on light and shade.
The product is the sum of the process and the imperfections tell the story of the making.
My time, as Artist in Residence at York College, is spent striving to express the delicacy of paper in porcelain and investigating how geometry, repetition and folding capture the interplay of shadow and light, and embrace the space between.
