I create ceramic vessels and small scale sculptural pieces that explore form, line, texture and the interaction of light, shade and colour. Inspiration is drawn from the natural world, the material qualities of clay and the physicality of the making process itself. Working in porcelain for its purity, translucency, and its clear bright colours when glazed. I continue to be fascinated by this material, which responds to the slightest touch, recording every action applied and the ability to work entirely with the hands to create objects which can then 'fixed' in the intense heat of the kiln. I have a particular passion for throwing but also employ other traditional and experimental methods to produce the work.
My current work includes hand built porcelain geometric vessels. This body of work, strongly influenced by my background in cabinet making and fine metals, uses construction techniques borrowed from these disciplines. Constructed from slip cast sheets, folded and joined, creating tensioned and curved surfaces. The unglazed pure white and translucent surfaces play with light and shade creating a sense of movement. Through an experimental approach I strive to find a path between the functional and the sculptural to create objects of interest and beauty.
