Professional Practice

I am a ceramicist and I create contemporary ceramic pieces full of colour.

The inspiration behind my work stems from my cultural background and heritage. Learning about my Indian ancestors and Caribbean culture drove me on to delve deeper into creating art on it. I explored and learnt many aspects of who I am and what really influences my creativity.

Falling in love with ceramics was something unexpected to me, but there's something about taking a piece of clay and transforming it into something else that's magical. To me there is something mysterious about clay, all 4 elements are found in the process of working with it: Fire, Earth, Water and Air. The most mysterious is the element of surprise that comes with firing the work, no matter how much one knows, there is no control during firing. It’s that element of mystery and surprise that draws me to want to keep exploring and creating ceramics.
