Artist’s Statement

My figure and fortress, bathers and boat themes continue developing, inspired by the myths and landscape of Wales, the castles and coastline, and the work of artists who have been similarly influenced.
My ceramic sculptures are each hand-built in groups of two or three and crossed- referenced with similar imagery to ?hold? a story and sit as objects for reflection.
Earthenware clay slabs are rolled, cut and formed before drawings or prints are applied to the surface. Layers of slip and sand reveal glimpses of figures or distorted shadows balancing on ledges and horizons. With ladders, windows and arches, each individual structure is like a stage set with its own particular drama.
