Artists Statement,

I am a ceramic artist specialising in figurative sculpture.

I practice a variety of techniques, hand building, moddeling and moulded work.

I use the figure as a vehicle to represent ideas of form as well as a metaphor to express different aspects of the human condition.

My work is multi-layered in it’s approach, as are my influences which range from ancient cycladic sculpture through to the work of more recent 20th Century Sculptors.

I am currently enjoying exploring the effects of proportion and scale within my work and how this can alter the overall perception of the piece.

I also take inspiration from the environment, landscape and organic forms which seep into the work fusing these elements together to evoke a sense of place.
