My work has three main threads. The paper-clay vessels are inspired by landscapes, my figurative work and my public/private art commissions.

"My drive as a maker is as a response to places and spaces. I am moved by rocky landscapes, city architecture, internal/external space. The feelings excited by these experiences have eventually found expression through working with clay. Ceramics offers a language of internal/external space, of surfaces and containment. A language which is visual, tactile and kinaesthetic."

Movement in and through space: the language of the spatial relationships between people evinced in street gatherings and in contemporary dance, these are the two major strands informing my work.

These forms of interaction are sensual, physical experiences with emotional and psychological reverberations. After dance, clay is the most direct, physically responsive medium that I know. That one?s dialogue with the medium can be frozen into permanence with fire by processes which continue a sensual dialogue and have elements of chance and risk add further to the excitement of ceramics."
