PERSONAL STATEMENT

I love to experiment. I devolop ideas using drawing and printmaking techniques.
I take my inspiration from many sources most importantly my environment, the physical and emotional. Other than using traditional drawing techniques I will cut and tear paper to construct line and shape, this gives different textures.

I like using paperclay particularly the high firing clays. I fire the work in a homemade Raku kiln. I hand build and enjoy playing with texture in the work. I enjoy tearing paper clay to construct form; I find it a very spontaneous way to create, and I can respond to the clay and impress my emotion on it as I sculpt the pieces.

I am very interested in the human form and the human condition, our fragility and sensitivities.
