About My Work:
Over arching theme is one of transitions: from surface to line, from interior to exterior, from one orientation to another, from base to apex. All of these transitions take the viewer on a journey from one aspect to another with the aim of seamlessly passing between. Overall forms are intended to create a timeless elegance; a simplicity which belies the complexities of taking the material through the brutal process of high-firing – the transformation of the material from plasticity to permanence.
