ABOUT:

As a ‘ceramic gardener’ I work with clay, and other materials, in the most sympathetic ways.
Producing sculptures and paintings cultivated into varied forms. Abstract self-portraits of my interaction with the world, creating and digesting. The paintings hint into the fluidity and transparency within the emotional and material world. At times resembling a humble cabbage, beetroot or various stalks and tubers, they tell a story of our lifelong interactions with the world.

Rooted in tradition, I predominantly look at primitive clays and building techniques. They allow me to harness certain rawness; accounts of our early cultivation of either organic or inorganic thoughts or materials. The objects bridge the gap between art and design, sometimes functional, sometimes installation.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
