Clay has been a friend since I was a child. Life has taken me in many different directions before I was finally able to resume my conversations with this amazing medium. I now work full time with an extraordinary, interactive substance. Each new project is an adventure into the wonders of our planet, with its primordial ingredients and its familiar, yet always surprising, shapes and forms.
My art is focused around hand built structures. The pieces are individually unique and deeply personal, as each one captures the beauty of raw materials in their organic form.
I work mainly with stoneware and build my sculptures by hand exploring the tension between the natural muscularity of the clay and its incredible delicacy, at temperatures of up 1250c.
My work is a slow process which results in vessels and sculptures that reveal a range of surfaces, glazed and pitted through with crude oxides and fired multiple times.
