'I make a range of ceramics using red earthenware clays. Although my vessels have
associations with functionality e.g. jugs and coffee pots, it is the sculptural aspect of the
forms that interests me'.

'All of my work is hand built using a combination of different techniques such as coiling
and press moulding. During a period of several years I have developed my own glazes
which produce a dry, matt finish; in combination with metallic oxides I paint, spray and
sponge these materials onto the surface of the work. By using different glaze formulas
and firing temperatures, I build up the desired surface texture and colour.
The pieces are often fired several times before I am satisfied with the results'.

'The surfaces of my ceramics are inspired by naturally occurring effects, such as those
found in rock formations. The recent forms have developed through
a study of human and animal gestures'.
