Individual, hand-built organic vessels, sculpture and objects inspired by nature and early civilisations
Harbour & Haven
These pieces are inspired by coastal landscape and fauna. I wanted to express an idea of 'safety', 'refuge' or 'stillness' - an escape from the turmoil of the world.

Sculptural vessels inspired by landscape, natural and figurative forms

I use coiling and other handbuilding techniques to make individual, organic sculpture - simple forms, mostly unglazed surfaces, often marbled or textured (representing the earth from which the clay came).
Inspired by the human figure and natural landscapes I sometimes reference ancient relics or iconography which provide a window into the beliefs of past civilisations. I find the ‘object as part of ritual’ fascinating, particularly when juxtaposed with today.
My ceramic practice is a means of processing my thoughts on my own path through this world. Combined with the inevitable dance when working with clay, it is more a journey of questions and discoveries that somehow materialise into three-dimensional objects.
