Thrown, 2025
ceramic 3 parts: 13 x 11 x 11cm; 10 x 15 x 12 cm; 7 x 13 x 9 cm

This work gathers what is thrown away and what endures, where the urban environment meets the living. A disposable coffee cup, symbol of consumption, is remade in clay, its surface sprouting feathers lifted from the rubbish and hybrid brushes that unfold as leaves.

In this uneasy form, the everyday is unsettled. Clay remembers the earth, feathers whisper of flight and ceremony, and the brushes-as-leaves speak of the idea of progress and renewal. These objects ask what it means to stay with Country when our lives are pressed into concrete and convenience.
