In all the work I make I am looking to explore the relationship between inner space and outer form; where they meet and merge one into the other. This sprang from an interest in calligraphy and typography, but includes all organic forms; plant and animal, where inner nature describes outer appearance – each is expressed in, and through, the other. 

I make stoneware sculptural pieces for home and garden. They are thrown and handbuilt from black and (separately) white stoneware clays. Some are simply glazed to emphasise the form, others are unglazed. The glazed forms are biscuit red to 9500C, re ned and then glazed & high red to 12600C. The unglazed are once- red to 12600C. ​
