‘Emergence’ draws reference from Australian native flora and is formed from locally foraged and blended clay bodies. The clay was sustainably collected from my property in Faulconbridge after unseasonable rain exposed natural deposits. The monolithic form stands resolute yet bleached, carrying traces of colour. It reflects the possibility of hybridisation as native species adapt in the dawn of climate change. Textured surfaces and eruptive growths evoke heat, regeneration, and fire-scarred ecologies, reimagining familiar forms as stylised hybrids shaped by rising temperatures.
