I have been continuing with the mono printing and am still using forms and imagery relating to Nonya ware imported from China by the Straits Chinese Community in the former British Colony of Malaya and to Chinese shipwrecked export porcelain as in my earlier installation piece, Inherited.
The ceramic vessel is a metaphor for interiority as well as real object in the world. The theme has autobiographical relevance as similar items owned by my family are also highly symbolic markers of key ceremonial dates such as anniversaries and birthdays and I did ceramics as an A level, rather a long time ago now.
