Expressing myself through the making of objects is a privilege and a passion. The human figure has long been a feature in much of my work. Through figurative imagery my wheel and hand-built work explores the relationships between people. It is a conversation, fueled by friendships and travels, a visual diary narrated with an evolving personal vocabulary of images. I have employed different techniques, clay bodies and surface treatments. Recently I have experimented with wheel-throwing different forms in a series, with and without figurative imagery. I have found that altering and sculpting into these thrown vessels significantly affects the interpretation of my work.
