" The culture of objects around horses is beautifully rich; from the braided patterns of the softest leather reins, to the embroidery of the saddles and the curvature of horseshoes. The horseshoe becomes a symbol bigger than the sum of its heavy parts: magic, luck, protection. For me, it is the elegant bend, so delicate and organic in angulation yet strong in form, that captivates me. That duality contained in the refinement of its shape against the harshness of its material is what I wanted to explore within the realm of ceramics. Can it be more gentle, can it be more graceful without losing its power."
