Elephantidae 2012
Above you can see all my work and inspiration from my project and exhibition 'Elephantidae 2012' I am not currently using ceramics so most of the pieces above are sold, I do have some old pieces from this collection that I would consider for sale please use the contact form here if you want more information.
I have a long held interest in the depiction of animals in art: particularly the elephant. This had led me to an awareness of their endangerment. In my work I aim to convey the role and nature of elephants through the ages with their magnificent forms, using an illustrative method of blue and white painting. I started this journey in 2011 by using porcelain for its precious, reflective and symbolic qualities to raise awareness of their vulnerability, and Juxtaposing historical and contemporary imagery in the same stylistic way in order to give the viewer an insight into this very special and endangered relationship with elephants through museology, my past work with ceramics influenced my current art practice and brand.
Using the Ceramic form that triggers our memories and associations, combined with illustration and using historical imagery and current concerns I urge the public to look at the issues facing their extinction. I believe ceramics provided me the perfect surface in which to learn ways in which I can raise concerns and reveal truths that are crucial to the way in which we see the future of endangerment. Through my work I intend to highlight the plight of vulnerable elephants, expanding on various ways in which to convey their lives through illustrative techniques.
My long term goal is to make a significant contribution to vulnerable Elephants through illustration as previously I used surfaces like porcelain and glazes to develop innovative ways to bring these current issues forward. I am interested in developing forgotten traditions combined with my passion for the un-told stories of animals through illustration.
