Megan explores the interaction between thrown and hand built constructions and the process of reduction firing. She is fascinated by the ever-changing landscape sculpted by the elements, particularly beside the sea. She captures some of this beauty through surface texture and glazes. Megan also aims to demonstrate the manipulability of clay, her current work is sculptural but about the vessel form. She also makes wall pieces.
She is inspired by the beautiful yet rugged beaches found in Devon. Man has no control over the rock formations, yet they appear perfect. She loves the variety of rich colour found in the sea and its continuous energy, this energy is something she tries and capture in her work.
The shiny glass, which drips down her work, invites the eye to explore the form. To side fire her pots she places the props on sea shells, so that the pot is in contact with only the sea shells. When the pots are taken out of the kiln the shells which have turned from calcium oxide to calcium sulphate dissolve in water leaving shell marks behind. Megan enjoys the excitement of opening the kiln to see how the raw flame has developed the glaze, and the drips which have formed.
Megan works on some of her pots from the inside, layering on slips and drying them with a heat gun, then pushing the clay forcing cracks and natural divides. This is something hard to be precise with, however she enjoys the cracking nature of clay and pushing it to its limits.
