- I am intrigued to find art within functional ceramics. My current work is punctuated by the concept of inseparable relationships. Confident, considered, elegant forms with engaging relationships develop through being exhibited as a collective voice. It is this conversation which excites me.
- Repetition unifies the forms and subtle variations highlight individual qualities. It is often through the smallest change that engagement occurs; the undulation of a rim, the fineness of edges and the volume suggested by a change of profile. A coherent and balanced interplay with the families of vessels is my aim.
- My recent work has been soda glazed. It offers the unpredictability and exhilaration of continual discovery. Aided by the fire, the composition of the clay body determines glaze surface, colour and responsiveness. Shades of grey through white with saturated rich honey crown creates tonal and colour harmonies. The addition of a graphic element through the use of striped surfaces creates visual tensions that render the groupings more contemporary in feel.
