“My work is of Porcelain Ceramics, a set of functional shape and individual pieces. It is important to me to create communication, a ‘conversation‘ between form and surface. In my intimate relationship with each individual piece of work becoming an extension of how I respond to movement of the wheel and the clay. The method I employ is first throwing, then dissecting and distorting the shape, which for me is an innovative way of making and producing original designs.”
