My works are small and precious. Small work has less environmental impact than large work (less materials, more can fit in the kiln etc). I am also working consciously to avoid waste and failed work. I like the idea that the work I make is accessible and affordable, and can fit almost anywhere. I enjoy making several pieces along a theme which I group together to achieve an impact.
My forms are made to nestle in the hand. I seek the beauty in handmade details – fingerprints, delicate edges and decoration which unravels as the viewer gets closer and then holds the pieces in their hands. My works is functional, sculptural and decorative.
Rocks, beach, sea and sky are my inspiration – ever-changing and ephemeral but also solid and long-lasting. My local landscapes are an important part of my life.
