Whether creating a wall hanging, tile or sculpture spontaneity is an important factor, working with loose sketches I respond to the clay as I build and the surface decoration is an instinctive process using slips and oxides and scoring into the clay using a sgraffito technique.
I am inspired by the simplicity of Japanese and Korean ceramics and their ability to demonstrate beauty within imperfection with the juxtaposition of traditional and modern simplicity.
