Since March 2020 I've been trying to view 'limitations' in my working environment as refreshing focusing on the liberating aspects of being forced to get out of this comfort zone as a maker and embrace more 'limited'local (natural and domestic) materials, tools and ways of working in my practice. Earlier in 2020 I undertook a residency in Iceland with SIM during my residency i had to embrace limited materials and tools as well as have to gather and process materials directly from the landscape. This is something which I have continued to explore over 2020 and into 2021.The opportunity to further research natural and domestic glaze materials during this time greatly contribute to my understanding and maximizing of the nuances of glazing and its relationship to form and surface as well developing sustainable approaches to ceramics.
