Cronx. A ceramic project inspired by Croydon.

A personal project exploring our relationship with our local environment, focusing on urban landscapes, aiming to create objects which celebrate the beauty that can be found in these spaces. Through a series of walks I explored my hometown of Croydon, a heavily stigmatised post-war creation which houses a mixture of urban, industrial and natural landscapes, through a new perspective and found the overlooked beauty that lies within it. These ceramic forms translates distorted details of Croydon along with a sense of interaction and exploration, mirroring the idea of looking closer at our ordinary surroundings. This idea of rediscovering our own landscape extends further into appreciating the character and beauty within our ordinary surroundings and to celebrate these once unnoticed details in our everyday lives. There is so much to rediscover within the landscapes we are so familiar with when we slow down and look.
