Limpets
Wall based ceramic works (2022–24)

Solo exhibition at Richard Saltoun Gallery, Rome
A tribe of therianthropic creatures, part-women, part-quadruped, converge at pond engaging in a spectrum of water-related activities: from drinking and diving, to defecating, giving birth, and swimming. The water of the pond is captured trough reverberation lines. Within each creature, lies a miniature pool of liquified glass, evoking both the presence of water within living forms and an absence, a wound, akin to a stone from which a limpet was wrenched, that still bears the trace of the salt on its perimeter.

Mute Frogs, 2023/24
A multitude of frogs makes a lake out of their contorted bodies. The water is inside and outside of them: they all contain internal puddles made of foaming boiling glass. Like islands they are all different and isolated; they are not touching but are close in the shared effort to communicate. Their mouths are represented by abstract cut lines, like the strings of a musical instrument, that could make the air vibrate. This potential sound, which is represented visually, remains silent auditorily.
