During my AA2A residency at Staffordshire University, Stoke-on-Trent I began working with ceramics. I was interested in the potential for the clay to be manipulated when in varying states of liquid. These forms were made in a slip casting process where liquid clay is poured into moulds, and I then removed the shapes and dropped and slumped them to create irregular and gestural forms. I became interested in the sounds of the gloopy slip, sloshing mould pours and thuds of the collapsing shapes and made recordings of these interesting sounds.
