The Wind that Breaks a Branch accepted into the 2025 Du Rietz Art Award and exhibited at Gympie Regional Gallery

Exploring the relationship between femininity and "decorative art" through the material of clay, with this, these themes are further developed in The Wind that Breaks a Branch, the three ceramic sculptures depict a vessel that undulate to become a twisting form of branches. The delicate protrusions bar entry to the inside of the form, rendering the ceramic vessels entirely useless and completely decorative.

The branch transforms into a visualisation of the perceived delicate nature of femininity through the sturdy material of ceramics, pondering the question, when does the wind break a branch?
