With nature as my inspiration I am producing abstract sculptural forms, which examine the essence of fragility and vulnerability.  My main materials are porcelain and nichrome wire: additions of oxides, stains and silicon carbide produce stark contrasts in colour and texture.  I raw glaze to cone 7 in oxidation.
