I see myself as a maker of objects, my inspirations are broad and eclectic, the ones i find most alluring and inspirational are from global cultural history, where we are not sure of their function or use, my imagination remains open and keeps a sense of wonder for these pieces. I am drawn to the mystery where the primary motivator is the unknown, trying to find answers to questions that inevitably lead to more questions there is no final answer, I am attempting to create vehicles or vessels for the imagination to Journey with. I am in control of some aspects of the making but the final firing is something i can only influence and keeps the kiln opening an exciting event.
