'Traces' is an exploration of materiality and memory through experimental ceramic and glass processes. Using a unique vacuum forming method to cast plaster, create delicate, skin-like distortions. The resulting impressions capture the subtle topographies of an object, preserving their physical traces within the plaster moulds.Through compression, inversion and removal, the process exposes both absence and presence which transforms the material into a record of tension, pressure, and transformation.The works become quiet fossils of the pre-digital age: objects whose technological usefulness and longevity are short-lived, yet which are immortalised in plaster. Their surfaces, soft and sensuous to the touch, play with ideas of fragility, desire, and the necessity of tactility, which invites us to reconnect with what feels essential in our physical lives.
