Hand-built sculptural ceramics inspired by the Cornish landscape
“Clay comes from the erosion and decomposition of rocks. Fascinated by this process, and living where I do, my pieces are to do with making fissures, splits, stopes and rugged monoliths. Volcanic finishes and deeply pitted layering mirror the ravages of weather and time, giving an inherently light material an intrinsically heavy feel and therefore capturing the nature of nature.
My pieces show no trace of softness and sometimes challenge the boundaries with regard to gravity and balance. I do not use a potter’s wheel, moulds or formers, preferring to build entirely by hand.”
