My clay creations are seemingly personal yet often
draw upon found sources, such as images from books and postcards, as well as
photos I have taken myself. Works are inspired by the flow of things
seen everyday, as well as by the art I look at, from past and present.
With
a passion for the European arts of the 17th and 18th centuries and its
spiritual persuasions, I find ways to translate this source material
into my own experience in the form of drawings, paintings and sculptures,
which are crafted from red earthenware, slip, glaze, gold leaf and
found objects.
The works are freighted with strangeness and
perhaps seem a world apart, drawing the viewer into a beguiling
perceptual experience.
