In 2004 and following a friend’s suggestion, I began drawing characters in indian ink as a solution to the anxiety of dissertation writing whilst an undergraduate at Chelsea School of Art. Philosophical and theoretical texts morphed into small creatures and populations - each with imaginary beliefs, identites and customs.
The Lamb Lettuce of Tartary was a creature proposed as a bridge in evolution between species of flora and fauna in the late C18th. It describes a plant-animal with both animal (lamb-like) and plant (with a stem) characteristics.
With this belief-fantasy loosely in mind a host of inky characters emerged, some of which have been taken and translated into a mould for slip casting and the creation of this vase in porcelain.
The piece can be read as an ode to all beliefs conjured up in humanity's pursuit of meaning.
An enthusiastic gathering of characters in pen and ink for Borough Wines and a series of tête à tête exploring wine and drinking culture.
