Statement
Landscape Series
The energy of landscape informs my ceramic, its influence and rhythm echoed in the marks drawn, painted and scribed directly into each form.
I hand build using coils of stoneware clays; the physical process energised, reactive and intuitive. The surfaces of the large forms are created when the clay is still raw, vulnerable and at its most responsive.
Although inspired by nature, the ceramic in this body of work is not intended to imitate or recreate a particular landscape, but rather to explore and reveal the emotional and inherent sense of association and connection generated by our surroundings.
