Artist Statement

I work in stoneware; it is strong, durable and ideal for everyday use. My work is thrown then decorated with coloured slips and underglazes. I use an electric kiln.

I emphasise the fluidity and plasticity of clay through gestural brushwork and mark-making.

The Buncheong tradition of Korean pottery helps to inform my ceramics, though I am to interpret rather than replicate these traditions. I draw on my own cultural context, combining a passion for textile design and the natural world to develop a distinctive visual language.

I see my work as being part of the ongoing and evolving Anglo - Oriental ceramic dialogue.
