Rachel creates abstract biomorphic sculptures, reminiscent of organic forms or human figures, with a focus on form and texture. Hand-built through coiling, each piece evolves naturally, balancing structure and fluidity. Inspired by both nature and the strength of the human form, her work reflects resilience and presence.
Working with grogged stoneware, she embraces raw textures and organic shapes, clean lines and an earthy palette. Her work is about the balance between structure and fluidity, strength and softness, creating forms that feel both familiar and abstract.
Rachel’s journey into ceramics wasn’t planned. After a career in social work and time spent living in South Africa, she reconnected with her creativity through clay. What started as a simple pottery class quickly became something more. In working with clay, she found not only a creative outlet but a sense of grounding and purpose, shaping both her practice and her perspective.
