These bowls and beakers are wheel thrown in different combinations of dark and light stoneware. I play with a palette of dolomite and transparent glazes. Each piece undergoes a further firing to be lightly gilded with gold lustre.
I come to ceramics from a background in painting, so that the body and form of clay is another surface for making marks and cultivating textures. Unlike a painting, a pot has no front or back, but one can reach inside it, respond to the human impulse to touch and handle it.
