Her work is carefully crafted while also having layers of meaning to draw attention to issues that she cares about.
Inspired by people and places, and in response to specific themes or topics, Carol creates limited edition collections in black and white porcelain. Her work is carefully crafted while also having layers of meaning to draw attention to issues that she cares about. Living in a rural location, trees have become an important motif in Carol's work, using them to draw attention to the environment. Her abstract patterns are created by cutting up and reforming her inlaid porcelain sheets, and she enjoys experimenting with colour combination to create playful and lively surfaces. She has also adopted a "closed loop" approach to her practice where she repurposes and recycles as much material as possible from her ceramic production.
Carol's inlay technique gives her the freedom to combine different patterns or glazes on the inside and outside of her vessels and she uses the interplay of surfaces to add depth and meaning to each piece.
