My work reflect my pre-occupation with exploring the interactions of local raw materials (wherever possible), process (woodfiring) and the maker.
Current work is a synthesis of technology, raw materials and various production methods (throwing, slip casting and slab building). The pots combine a porcelain body (combed, scratched and carved) with ash, celadon, copper red and chun glazes to achieve a very subtle effect. the pale greens of both celadon and ash glazes contrast with the warm flashes from the wood kiln to create a very personal means of expression.
Influences from Asia, the Middle East and Australian Aborigines are evident in the work. The pots have their roots in traditional sources but with a look and feel that reflects a contemporary presence.
