CAPSTONE PROJECT
COME OUT INTO THE GARDEN
I explore intimate connections through visual storytelling on earthenware figurative vessels. My body of work depicts the vulnerable theme of sapphic identity, capturing tender emotions and loving narratives on my surfaces. The colourful illustrations applied with stained terra sigillata offer lighthearted interpretations of loaded narratives. This levity allows me to capture an essential part of my character and to share sensitive topics that I guard preciously.
