A Merge of Curiosities is a play on both the concept of a Cabinet of Curiosities and the merge of my painting and ceramics. A desire to collect and a fascination with the foreign and the past is present in these works, as is the artistic exchange that has occurred through trade and travel.
The paintings and hand built ceramics are presented in a series of suites; another play on the Western need to curate and categorise. These are whimsical, often wonky objects and images about curiosity and collecting.
