Having always been attracted to natural surroundings and organic surfaces, I am genuinely drawn to textures within the world around us. My work explores the landscape and the detail of many different natural surfaces.
Whilst concealed amongst these surroundings, I feel relaxed and at home. I find it amazing to see the changes in rocks and coves caused by weathering and erosion from the sea, bumpy and colourful linear patterns found within fields and hills, and the surfaces in nature where no two marks are ever the same – it is this particular aspect that my ceramics connects to.
Before constructing the ceramic forms, I produce mixed-media drawings and prints, which inform the surfaces of the clay. My interest and passion for ceramics is growing rapidly the more I experience new ideas, and for every piece of work that I make. I am fascinated by the qualities of the material and I like to keep my work full of excitement. I relish in constructing an object using my hands to thoroughly engage with what I am making.
My work is fired in an electric kiln up to 1260°C and can be used for interior and exterior display or function.
