Amber Heard - Seven Deadly Sins

This series of seven plates comes from moments in contemporary culture that have stayed with me - not because they’re shocking, but because of how women are scorned and humiliated - too fat, too thin, too sexual, too demanding, too ambitious, too emotional, too controlled. 

Each plate is deliberately voyeuristic and ambiguous; deliberately withholding clarity, I want the viewer to consider their participation and how systemic misogyny has blindsided us into making judgement. 

Ceramics will always be a domestic craft. Plates serve us, we eat from them, wash them, and start again. I’m using that familiarity to play with our complicity and our appetite for more.
