Coming in December 2025 to Manly Art Gallery and Museum – Counterpoint: Jude Rae, Ruth Waller and Toni Warburton – an interplay of practices and processes.

My ceramic vases, narrative sculptures and cups arise from perceptual jolts into the tantalizing realm of the uncanny and the desire to sustain strangeness as a form of noticing. They are made in a curious reverie of dynamic assemblage, buoyed by the inventive form language of ceramic vessels, botanical, geological and architectural structures and my delight in the tactile, mimetic properties of clay and glazes.
