Hand coloured stoneware

Details:
 
Drawn to expanses of water, sky and land, and the interaction of light upon them, my work captures a moment in the continual change in the natural world, and the parallels with human emotion.  Rise is an abstract view that responds to this cycle, and forms part of an ongoing series of land, water and skyscapes.

I work by intricately layering, cutting and reconfiguring coloured clay to form patterned slabs. Each piece is then created by building up and collaging sections of these slabs, before they’re rolled into shape. 
 
Circles often feature in my work as symbols of continuity and the cycle of seasons and nature.
 
This wall-based work comes ready to hang, with a makers mark on the back.
 
I’m committed to working responsibly as an artist and make conscious decisions in every part of my process. Each piece is mindfully made in my garden studio, and fired using energy from renewable source s.You can find out more about the processes I have in place here.
