The world of the human subconscious drives the design of my ceramic sculptures. Each piece is built to a unique design by coiling; a method with roots stretching to the dawn of humanity. In analogy to the way our environment fills our subconscious, I seek a strong link between my work and its place of creation. Tone and contrast derive from locally found materials added to my stoneware clay mixes, in particular London clay. This forges a bond between each piece and its place of making within walking distance from an iron age pottery site that used this same clay.
