I love hand-building. That means I have the feel of the clay in my hands all the way through the process, and every ceramic component I make is unique. I am able to throw on the wheel, but usually I use the much slower process of building with coils and additional pieces of clay to make up the shapes.
I take pleasure in a high standard of craftsmanship, yet I like still being able to see evidence of my hands which have shaped the clay. This is what I hope people notice too.
Most of my work is about relationships. The whole becomes more than the sum of its parts, in relation to each other. Spaces between are important as well as the interactions in mobile sculptures.
I would like to think that my 'best' work evokes both a stillness and a joy, a distillation of the peaceful earth and active human hand.
I studied Craft and Design at Bath College and in the past few years have exhibited and sold in several galleries in Bath and Corsham, and in Garden sculpture shows across the South West and Wales.
