My work explores the interaction between the land and sea. Fascinated by the ever-changing landscape sculpted by the elements I try to capture this through colour, form and texture.
The inspiration for my work is derived from various aspects of the shoreline, aerial views, rock formations, pools, crags and lines, texture, found objects, erosion and decay.
My pieces are built by hand with a heavily grogged stoneware clay suitable for both inside and outside. Using mainly the coiling and slab process most are then cut, reshaped and sculpted; adding and removing sections as the piece evolves. The colours that I achieve are a result of using a variety of different slips and glazes; the pieces are then multi-fired, building up the textures.
