Rock Pool Box
2018

This collection is a response to my visits to the beaches on Mull, Iona, Skye and those close to my home in the highlands. When I glance across the beach I'm naturally drawn to nature's inconsistencies and organic forms. I wanted to recreate the feeling of collecting beach ‘treasure’ such as the unique features of a pebble, the compulsion to pick it up: a keepsake that demands further exploration. My pieces are made to hold and view from many angles as the design has been considered for both exterior and interior. I capture the idea of fleeting moments of attraction by association with the sense of touch, sound and sight. Using multiple techniques has enabled me to explore different textures, movements and finishes within my work, allowing for a variety of interactions with my pieces.
