Artist CV (pdf)

Clay is my building material and my paint. I love it for its sculptural potential and its capacity to embody the ideas I like to invest in the making. It’s a very physical experience working with clay, and often an exploratory one, because as the issues that motivate the pieces change, so do the techniques and processes involved. I hope that the works I make - despite their generally domestic scale -possess stature, meaning, personality and sometimes humour. I hope that through some quiet power they can stand up and be seen, tell their stories, and make very human connections with people.
