In my first episode back, I speak with Bonnie Hislop (@bonnie_hislop) about her practice as a ceramicist, her wins and what she is proud of, why Instagram reels are that little bit extra work for artists and so much more! Thank you to Bonnie for sharing her thoughts, feelings and chatting with me. I hope you enjoy the episode!

About Bonnie Hislop:
Bonnie Hislop is a ceramicist specialising in hand building and ceramic illustration. Grounded in technical skill, her practice has evolved from creating illustrative ceramic cats to large scale sculptural work. Bonnie uses her forms to critically engage with the world around her and document the human experience. Working from her studio in Yeerongpilly, Bonnie meticulously hand crafts her forms through an involved and often uncertain process inherent in working with clay. She unites bright colours and satirical shapes to engage her audience in a dialogue with the physical world around them. Her work intersects traditional representations of ceramics with a craft aesthetic to create a contemporary interpretation of the ceramic medium. The artwork doesn’t take itself too seriously yet is able to capture personal experiences universal to the human condition. Her practice aims to encapsulate universal experiences of frustration, angst, grief, emotional fatigue as well as tenderness, intimacy and desire. The performative, brightly coloured ceramics forge an existence through joy and curiosity.

This is just an icebreaker; if you were here before I relaunched hey. If you're new here, hey! So nice to see you, this is my journey over the last eighteen months. In this episode I explain what has changed for me over the last year and half; I've changed mentally, emotionally and physically.

I am really excited for this new chapter of my life, I am turning 30 next year and I am hoping to be a better version of myself every year moving forward! I've realised life is too short to not do it all.
