Abstract aesthetic 2025

​

At the potter’s wheel, Jennifer creates contemporary ceramics in porcelain and stoneware. Leveraging abstract creative processes learned through studying and performing music, she endeavours to allow for moments of chance and the unexpected to find their way into her ceramic practice.

 

Jennifer's work explores surface and form. All vessels become canvasses for gestural brushwork and instinctive marks. Depending on the temperament of the piece, marks range from spontaneous incisions to abstract imagery.

 

“When mark-making, I lose myself in the process. I experience a sense of exhilaration which I endeavour to retain in the energy of the final piece.”

 

Neume series:

 

Porcelain’s intrinsic surface characteristics offers a blank canvas for a series of improvised motifs and symbols evoking the concept of ‘score’. Marks are applied spontaneously to wheel thrown porcelain vessels.

 

The porcelain vessels are high fired and glazed internally.
