My ceramic forms are wheel thrown and altered to create asymmetrical and abstract forms that reference the spiral structures of shells and plants.

The coloured textural surfaces are developed by carving through multi layers of coloured slip to produce visually interesting and tactile surfaces that encourage touch. This technique creates a vibrant sense of energy through the contrasts of colour whilst integrating with the form giving the illusion that the textural surface has grown with the structure.

These ceramic forms are made of porcelain and fired in an oxidation firing to 1260 degrees.
