The major concerns that my work deals with are a love of the process of throwing, an ongoing relationship with porcelain and a fascination with the theme of the vessel.

My work addresses two primary concerns. The first deals with the enjoyment of the qualities of the porcelain and the practice of manipulating and sometimes cutting and reassembling freshly thrown forms to highlight movement and volume. Roads, pathways and hedgerows inform the alterations of the thrown form to produce these sculptural decorative vessels.

The second body of work takes on the challenge of making pure, simple bowls, striving for the perfect balance between rim, body and foot rim. The aim is that whether the bowl is large or small it should have presence and form a relationship with the viewer.

All work is fired in a gas kiln (reduction) to 1280° centigrade, offering a variety of colours and finishes ranging from complex blacks and vibrant reds to cool and subtle greens and whites.
