Natural growth and decay are core inspirations. These organic ceramic sculptures have been inspired from plants in transition - gently moving towards opening up. These are forms caught in a brief moment delivering an invitation to imagine what they might become. I work directly with the raw material after initial drawings. These sculptures are made with stoneware clay and constructed using slabs and coils then carved and glazed and fired to 1250 degrees.
I have been experimenting with the Raku firing process on some new sculptures to create interesting effects using smoke on the glazes.
