Artist Statement I believe you must have direct contact to fully understand the way a material interacts with you and behaves, all my work has this hand made directness fulfilling my addition to the material, the work reflects the environment I live in drawing inspiration from the world around me. I love the contradictions of the urban environment so monumental, certain and strong yet slowly being reclaimed by nature. The shapes and textures of our lives are so varied so complex I wish to slow them down bring a peace and serenity to my work giving the viewer a sense of the inner peace working with clay gives me.
