| 'a peoples #2' - Assembly Point "as ‘sausage woman’ i make (giant) puppets and (ceramic) pots. i am deeply interested in the formation of character in my work whether figuratively (people) or formally (materials). this series of works examines the amalgamation of my two practices, which at first seem worlds apart, yet both speak of the same characteristics - together they are “a peoples”." |

"as a woman in her thirties, i am exposed to the representation of women in society daily, particularly of professional and child-bearing age. the ‘mother’ puppet looks at how a woman like myself may craft her identity and fashion her body, through the clothes she wears, the activities she partakes in, and especially, the roles she chooses to play." |

| "when making these works i brought in materials i have worked with in the past that have ceramic-like qualities, such as latex, plaster, silicone, wax, and plasticine. these materials are all sculptable and behave within their own parameters. not all are pleasant to the touch. it is the variety of colours, viscosities, textures, and even scents that attract me, perhaps as they all have some kind of relationship to the body. they are incomparable to ceramics, however, due to their lack of permanence.
for now, one thing remains static: all my works have faces." |

| "the seemingly endless possibilities of clay inform my work as ‘sausage woman’ greatly. here, i have attempted to examine the formal qualities of the material as well as how adept it is at mimicking other materials. clay can evoke certain things - like a flavour, a sensation, an action, or a desire." | |

| 'a peoples' - Library at the Dock, Docklands "in sausage woman’s window display at Library at the Dock each object is different, yet no matter what form they take - as cups, vases, candles, pots, pipes, and jugs - they all belong to the one distinct family - the same 'peoples'." |
