Marks and imprints all around us give insight and knowledge of what has gone before. Much of my work is concerned with exploring how we all leave impressions during our lives. Fleeting figures are suggested and represented, perhaps an accidental imprint rendered permanent or shreds of garment that still carry the human form. I draw upon local influences absorbed from the physical environment as well as the human activity within it. In this context I consider that my wider endeavour as an artist in the community informs, and is an important complement to my personal work.

I have always been interested in the properties of clay as well as the landscape in which it is found, I like to engage with it in its essential state, sometimes picked up manipulated whilst walking along. Some of my work uses porcelain and stoneware clays fired to very high temperatures whilst others may be raku fired or contain local found clays. I also use paperclay (a clay slip with added paper pulp), sometimes combined with hazel wands and other materials including metal wires, rods and meshes to create work inspired by woven structures such as baskets, boats and birds nests that is quite strong even in the unfired state.
