I use clay as a dynamic canvas, applying slips, wax, glaze and underglaze in layers, often cutting and drawing back into them to create deep and intricate surface stories. Colours, shapes and motifs within the work reflect my body of research into the diversity, ecology & landscapes in our urban environment. Every piece that I create is hand-built using slabs of clay or hand thrown on the wheel. I use that unique form to guide the marks that I make, appreciating the nuances in surface and individuality of each one.
