Path and Inspiration
I was a print maker for most of my career and now love clay printing. Having a surface to decorate and a 3d shape to work on makes me really excited after years of paper and fabric printing.
My imagery is often about people in spaces, the scale of our environment, and I try to capture moments of the wonder it is to live on this earth, as I grapple to comprehend all that science is teaching us about ourselves and our world…but not always is such a serious way, I like a bit of humour too!Process and Practice
I have been a print maker since leaving Saint Martins in 1981. I have always loved the process and the challenges of controlling the print medium. About ten years ago I took up ceramics, and found how sympathetic the surface of clay is to print. I explore various techniques using slips, oxides and underglazes…and to add to the possibilities, there’s all that variety of clay surfaces. I also make small figurative sculptures.
