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.
