Medium scale bowl interior/exterior detail. Always a figuratively referenced surface that places drawn elements in a spacial context. The complexity of my surface structures can be seen clearly in this close up of exterior wall.

Expressive form with multiple orifices, matt contrasted with gloss, pewter, adjusted barium and a multitude of concoctions, including vitrified organic/weathered/reactive surface slips H 36 x W 18cms x D 26 Ceramic 2020 The linear marks start as random shapes (of life), gradually evolving into sometimes recognisable depictions of objects drawn on objects. Each stage can take an age, ceramics being a slow methodical process of love, devotion and endurance.

Medium scale bowl with a floral theme, an homage to the flower farms and their general demise. Manganese overload and violet lustres abound, frosted mother of pearl and the dark opulence of the interior entirely meant, as is the prowling golden fox. Multi aspect horizons, 80's retro decals, quite often cut, alterered and assembled in addition to all other effects.

Front view of simple hollow form, Handbuilt in soft, almost collapsing lint bandage width strips of earthenware clay, this being made in a soft white body, made by my friend Geoff at Fosters Pottery. The form is meant, but in a random response way, clay being the most beautiful of naturally occurring plastic materials. The history and prehistory of pottery always being an important consideration for me. I am equally fascinated by near and distant past styles and histories. #devotional #contemporary #objectofdesire #thisdreamthatiscornwall #ceramics #surface #form #function #artpotter #domestic (at Des Models de Linda - ART) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClPVFwyIZ6i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Made in 2016, one of many miniature containers made to honour Ithell Colquhoun, using the Surrealist automatic techniques that she practiced.

Early work, developed as an undergraduate, during a wierdly brilliant but dysfunctional meeting of minds, that required a devotion to subject, which became a part of much other far reaching extra curricular research. The core findings were featured in an illustrated article in issue 163 Nov/Dec 1997 Ceramic Review article on ‘low temperature firing techniques’. I will find a copy and post it, as it is still relevant to my ongoing practice. I have continued my love of unorthodox collaborations/self curated shows that focus on specific research projects to do with ‘different’ ways of seeing and doing, alongside my main solitary practice. I am looking forward to showing the results of the latest project, a big part of which involves wandering amongst the sacred spaces of this land, alongside my collaborators and my dog(s). The resulting interactive show is planned for next September. Round wobble bottoms which necessitated firing upside down, meaning the rim had to be unglazed, the edge showing a heavily grogged body (with fine granite clippings). The other side says ‘Object of’, part of a collection, most of which I kept. Emanuel Cooper was interested in and supportive of this, the Styles and Ward ‘Conran’ mug/breakfast range, and the V&A ‘Setting Out 2’ inclusion. #carnabystreet #unorthodoxtraining #ceramicreview #studiopottery #folkart #terracotta #slipware #tileassemblage #glazetest #form #surface #focalpoint #innovativedesign #centrifugalforceart #cutandaltered #accessorised #figurative #horizon #thisdreamthatiscornwall (at Des Models de Linda - ART) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjuxPZdr2Qp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Elevated platter with feature orange gloss handle. Often used multiple single stem bud motif, with reference to the sad demise of the flower farms. #thisdreamthatiscornwall #artpottery #flatware #irredescent #footring #terracotta #slipware #heatworks #balance #handmade #naive #sophisticated #homewares #glaze #ongoingpractice (at Des Models de Linda - ART) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjZTRn6K5SM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
