Stimulated by observing the concrete surface of this iconic building, she has treated the surface of the porcelain Listening Vessels in various ways enriching ideas of what it means to listen. The mono prints of the vessels ‘in conversation’ offer further ways of understanding how we listen.

The Barbicana Platter’s shape originated directly from seeing the open sided shapes of the Barbican building on Silk Street that are passed so often when walking from Liverpool Street Station to the centre. The shape is also a nod to the barrel vaulted roof.
