As a child my presence
was often accompanied by the phrases, “don’t touch that!”,
“put that down!” and “why do you have to touch everything?”
In the twenty five years since then not much has changed, I am still motivated
by the need to feel everything. My attraction to clay is for this tactile
experience. both in progress and as a finished product. The inspiration for my work is the meditative all-consuming and encompassing experience clay is. It demands strength and intense sensitivity, stillness and movement, patience and haste, intellect and aesthetics, and single-minded concentration. Aspects from my past experiences find their way into my pieces in graphic and textural elements. There is no single influence, but rather a slow moving subconscious stream of ideas bubbling to the surface. |
