My body of sculptural work is a departure from my work of the last couple of years,although in my mind the inspiration comes from the same place. Whereas for my domestic work I have concentrated on the flowering parts of plants, for the sculptural work I have been looking closely at the fruiting body of the plant. Seedpods when scaled up so that we can really see them are spectacular. They contain all life. Their forms are made up of pure mathematics, nothing about them is random. their main role is a protective one, and to this end many of them are hard, spiky, enclosed or hairy.They wait for the time when nature dictates that they should release their seed, often in ingenious ways.My glazes are chosen to compliment the form and are often slightly chrystalline or iradescent, this makes the pieces glow.
All work shown here can be commisioned, larger pieces can also be undertaken.
