Ceramics

I find in the hand-sculpted clay of my ceramic works an overflowing fountain of forms, almost unlimited in its sculptural possibilities. The clay offers an ideal medium to render my notion of ‘pregnant’ space as a visual language into the third dimension. Furthermore, the metamorphoses of ceramic glazes during firing into magical combinations of colour patterns can add a further dimension to each sculptural form, adding the challenge of controlling the accidents inherent in the firing process (images). I love to explore the chance effects of the hollows of ‘pregnant’ space in my ceramic works with candlelight. The shimmering forms created on the adjoining walls produce an enchanting and expressive dance of light and shadow delicately unfolding outside the control of its creator.
