In my work I like to focus on nature and nurture.  Our fast paced world rarely allows time to retreat to a place where there is space for thought and consideration.  Sometimes I make pieces or installations which respond to a place or an issue but often I simply let the clay lead the way. The naturalistic shapes and contours of the landscape all help to create the outlines, and the colours and textures of the natural world influence the surface finishes, sometimes earth and sand from specific locations help to tell a story.

Perhaps historically considered a largely functional material, clay as a medium uniquely exposes individual characteristics and the marks of the maker.  Whilst they may share similarities, no two pieces are the same but all are built with the intention of longevity, pleasure and very often practicality.

I hope my pieces somehow allow space for personal reflection, individual interpretation and possibly wider dialogue.
