“I am a potter. I believe in the beauty of handmade objects. This allows me to explore notions of beauty and cultivate a sense of order.

When I first started using clay as a creative vehicle, I did not realize that I had just stepped into great knowledge teaming with dynamism. I was in my OND days, and clay was one of the last mediums I was interested in. While I was pursuing an art degree, clay seemed like it was always pulling at me. Each time I work with clay on the potter’s wheel I was able to gain a stronger sense of who I was without trying to express myself too directly in the medium. This unintentional process continues in the studio to this day. I have learned to accept it as an instinctive method, not to be interrupted or forced, but to be nurtured, explored and capitalized upon. Many of the motifs I use are adapted from Africa indigenous cultures and symbols, this which I used to reflect life into my works. I used my work as a mirror that reflects our society.”
