Currently I am develpoing new work at the Royal College of Art. Final show – June 2012.

My porcelain ceramics are inspired by historical textiles and the paintings of
Henri Matisse, Paul Klee, Ben Nicholson, Eva Hesse and others.
The decoration is integral. Laminated sheets of coloured clays inlaid with hand
cut patterns, are beaten, rolled and stretched over moulds. (The vases are
slab-built.) Forcing a form from one single flat sheet of clay ensures a simple shape.
Buried in sand to prevent warping, the pieces are fired to their limit, to achieve a
smooth, matt, vitrified surface.
