I began working with ceramics back in 2017 during a 4 week residency with Derby Museum & Art Gallery. I found inspiration in the museums nature collection, and found myself particularly intrigued by a pair of Adelie penguins brought back from Robert Falcon Scott’s famous ill fated expedition to the Antarctic in 1912. The residency culminated with an impressive display of over 100 small ceramic penguins, swimming (or flying) through the museum.
