The works I group under the title Tilt were produced in my third year of undergraduate study (2011). This was the first time I had experimented with adding oxides to porcelain (without mixing them in fully which creates a lumpy, difficult to throw ball) and was also a period where I was attempting to extend my throwing skills. As a result I found myself drawn into a sort of duel with the clay where I would push it, and my skills, to a point where the form was on the verge of collapse. If I stopped at exactly the right moment I would win, if I didn’t the form would collapse, which I guess meant no-one won.
