Marie’s work aims to bridge the gap between the past and present. Taking inspiration from decadent styles of historical ceramics combined with her love of the elaborate carvings and decoration of sacral architecture, Marie has created this collection titled ‘Thin Places’ referring to the space between heaven and earth,
These highly decorated vessels are functional but also can be viewed as decorative installation pieces.
Each hand thrown and decorated element is made individually before being assembled together.
Marie has created a collection where pieces can be bought as a memento to celebrate an event or occasion, becoming a modern day heirloom which can be added to and passed down through the generations.

Nod gwaith Marie yw pontio'r bwlch rhwng y gorffennol a'r presennol. Gan gymryd ysbrydoliaeth o arddulliau dadfeiliad cysegrol hanesyddol ynghyd â'i chariad at gerfio ac addurno pensaernïaeth sachau, mae Marie wedi creu'r casgliad hwn o'r enw 'Thin Places' sy'n cyfeirio at y gofod rhwng y nefoedd a'r ddaear, Mae'r llestri hynod addurnedig hyn yn weithredol ond gellir eu hystyried hefyd yn ddarnau gosod addurniadol. Mae pob elfen wedi'i thaflu a'i haddurno â llaw yn cael ei gwneud yn unigol cyn cael ei chyfosod. Mae Marie wedi creu casgliad lle gellir prynu darnau fel cofrodd i ddathlu digwyddiad neu achlysur, gan ddod yn drysor teuluol modern y gellir ychwanegu ato a'i drosglwyddo drwy'r cenedlaethau.
