Tricoderma draws inspiration from the hidden processes of growth that shape the natural world. Named after a genus of fungi known for its ability to colonise, adapt, and transform its environment, the work reflects the quiet persistence of organic life.
The form developed gradually through a process of addition and response, each element influencing the next. Rather than imposing a fixed outcome, I allowed the piece to evolve as it was made, following rhythms and patterns found in nature. The clustered surface suggests growth unfolding over time, as cells divide, fungi spread, or coral slowly builds upon itself.
I am interested in the tension between fragility and resilience that exists within living systems. What appears delicate often possesses remarkable strength, while growth itself is rarely linear or predictable. The piece explores these contradictions, drawing attention to the complexity and beauty of forms that emerge through natural processes.
Through clay, I seek to capture something of that continual becoming: the sense that life is always in the process of forming, adapting, and transforming.
