‘Coronavase’ was made in the first UK Covid-19 lockdown. I had time, and the luxury of my little studio. Clay became incredibly cathartic, offering an escape from the global confusion. Out of this period emerged a series of vessels, intuitively pinched and coiled, allowing forms and characters to emerge without prior design. It had been instinctive to add tongues, and on reflection I realised they appeared to be coughing. I had created a series of ‘coughing’ vessels in the height of the pandemic, which seemed to me an expression of my brain trying to process what was happening.
