Works in red and white stoneware and paperclay, reduction fired in a gas kiln. Vessel-oriented individual pieces are entirely hand-built, with sprayed glazes and brushed decoration, emphasizing surface texture. Typical forms made are large round and square plates, jugs, sculptural teapots and coffee-pots, large bowls and bottles, boat-shaped vases and decorative wall pieces.
Profile
'Being a musician as well as a potter, I bring into my ceramic work the same creative process which lies behind Improvisation in music: the spontaneity and intuitive 'free-ness' of the moment of creation. I like to leave impressed in clay the immediacy of this process, in texture and in form.'
Has works in private and public collections in Britain, Holland, France, Spain, Germany, Japan, New Zealand and Brazil.
