The farming landscape has always been the inspiration for my work.
Today’s pots have moved closer to the source of that inspiration. In them is reflected both my landscape now and a search for those ancestors who farmed it thousands of years ago. The new pots fill my benches like coptic jars preserving the viscera of this landscape.
Looking back, a clear path can be seen from my earliest vases and jars with their twisting facets and flutes through to these ‘waisted vessels’, ‘mask pots’, and ‘standing stoneware vessels’.
