Art and Ashes Film Project

Between November 2024 and March 2025, I prepared and began creating a deeply personal sculpture using my dad's ashes. During this time, I also had the privilege of working with 10 individuals to craft their own meaningful sculptures incorporating cremation ashes. This heartfelt project was made even more special through a wonderful collaboration with Dawn Ford, a grief and loss specialist, and George Downs, who beautifully captured the journey in a compelling film.

Discover the journey behind this heartfelt project by watching the film that shares its story.

The creator, Tracy.

Hi there! I’m the designer and creator behind every product in this store, and I pour my heart into every step of the process. From that first spark of inspiration to sketching out designs, and finally to my favorite part—bringing it all to life with my hands—every piece is a labor of love.

Art and design are my voice when words fall short. They allow me to share my innermost thoughts, feelings, and stories in ways I never imagined. And now that I’ve found this passion, I just can’t stop!

Each creation holds a deeper meaning, often hidden in the details, waiting for you to uncover. It’s like a treasure hunt—one of my all-time favorite things. So, take your time, explore, and let the pieces speak to you. Who knows what stories or connections you might discover?

  • Design

    I am skilled in design, whether that is by hand or using 3D software I love to see my designs become a reality on the computer screen and then watch as it gets 3D printed! I love continually learning and exploring the ways technology can support the making process. I can get lost for hours on the minute details of a drawing to make sure all the pieces are where they are supposed to be.

  • Sculptor

    I am a skilled sculptor working with a variety of scales – from rings on fingers to large plinth sculptures. My work always has a concept behind it – whenever they are worn or gazed on, they are reminders of beauty and strength and value. I always want be mindful of the struggles in my life and be reminded that I came through them. I am a mould maker and love slip casting in ceramics but these days I have a deep love for Jesmonite and creating silicon moulds for casting sculptures in Jesmonite. I love how versatile the material is and how easy it is to carve into after its cured.

  • Public Speaker

    I am a public speaker and want to share from my own experience how art has been a healing tool in my life and how through making and creating I have found a voice and an outlet for my creativity. I am determined to share with people that they can use an art form or practice – whether it is performance, music or visual art, in their everyday lives to build positive mental health and well-being
