A fascination with the materiality of the clay is the foundation for all of my vessels, sculptures and assemblages. I am influenced by natural imagery, and my forms explore the meeting point of natural occurrence and the human hand. I use wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques to explore the breadth and limits of clay. The interactions between clay bodies- stoneware, porcelain, and locally sourced ‘wild clays’, are what interest me, as metaphors for human interactions and relationships.
