My work is handbuilt and thrown, made from stoneware, porcelain or earthenware. I'm stimulated by change, and experiment with different ceramic media. My functional work is intended to enhance the dining experience. My sculptural works are vessel forms based on classical shapes.
The subject matter I have always explored relates to the human figure and facial expressions. In all of my work, whether ceramics, sculpture or printmaking, the scene is full of people - not beautifully stylized, but flawed like the real humans we are. Humour and irony are always near the surface.
