The Alchemist’s Shoal

Mixed media assemblage - Hand-sculpted clay, recycled glass, antique jewellery components, repurposed textiles, and natural feathers.

This striking pair of wall-mounted mixed media sculptures explores the intersection of aquatic biology and industrial relic. Hand-sculpted from clay, each fish acts as a canvas for a meticulously layered assemblage of found objects and historical fragments.

Vibrant cores of deep blue recycled glass anchor the forms. The pieces gracefully transition from the rigid, structured clay bodies into fluid, ethereal tails crafted from heavily textured textiles and fine spine-like feathers, creating a beautiful tension between the mechanical and the natural world.
