I find the tactile qualities of clay absorbing. It’s ability to be stretched, carved, cracked and eroded reflects my interest in the forces that create shape our landscapes, both from natural elements and human endeavour.
I am particularly drawn to lines and textures that define the contours of the land, but also close-up detail. I am fascinated with how patterns and textures of the small scale are reflected in the larger landscape.
I focus on simple forms and a limited palette of colour, to explore our relationship with the land. I hope to capture some essence of the effect that being in the landscape can have on us as well as considering the physical scars we leave behind.
