On creating beauty together
The images shown below came to exist through a communal love for people, art and the natural world. Every person mentioned here is not only a friend but also an inspiring creative figure in my life and ceramic practice.
Each of their crafts have woven themselves into the works I have created, becoming works of art on their own. To mention them here is a way for me to honour those connections.

Creative Studio
On Frida Kim’s creations, each flower and foliage are given their own space – a balance that the florist masterfully captures in each arrangement she makes. Frida’s curiosity and passion takes over her life and this curiosity expands to ceramic and vessels. Our encounters are special, where we always see the beauty of both crafts - ceramics and flower arranging - combined into one beautiful act.
