Path and Inspiration
Childhood memories are my main inspiration. My figures are often described as dark, joyful and weird. Carefully crafted identities which give my work depth, poignancy and glee. The sculptures are made from clay, wire, and clothes designed uniquely for them .My intent is not just to attract mere contemplation; the approach is deeper and more reflexive. Also I make animal figures , based on fables and invisible friends.Process and Practice
I work mainly from my shed in my garden . I have being doing ceramics since 1998 when I graduated at Westminster University . I have done many shows after that and continue to participate in fairs and have a few private collectorsI use most earthenware clay, glazes and slips also oxides. Most are hand build . Plaster moulds also for slab work
