STATEMENT
I am intrigued by contrast, the play of dark against light, the pull of empty space against the inclination to fill it up, the placement of line and shape, the use of subtle texture.
For the past six or so years I have worked almost exclusively in a palette of black and white in a conscious effort to simplify process and design.  In the end, process is never simple and good design is always balanced and strong.
My current work is wheel-thrown and altered stoneware with slips, underglaze and glaze, and slab-built white stoneware with black stoneware inlay.
I am influenced by minimalist art and design and the long traditions of Asian pottery and British studio ceramics.
