"My work evokes the idea of sanctuary through the reinterpretation of ancient temple pottery. The use of familiar classical forms elicits a sense of stillness, which is reinforced by the visual and physical weight of the pieces. Surface decoration has been eschewed in favour of subtle surface treatments to emphasise the interplay of light across and around the bodies of the pieces. The raw colours of the fired clays are preserved, speaking to the earth from which they originated.”
