Ceramic Tides

Through my work, I aim to express something of the spirit, light, and sensory experience of exploring the wild Cornish coastline. I study the changing interstices between water and land. This sublime, edge-land evokes an alluring, shape-shifting environment that exhilarates, captivates, and instils fear. There is a mystery to the quality of light, deep waters, and rugged geology of this ancient, post-industrial landscape; it is a place of weather that blows in and out from storms to stillness. In response to walking in this landscape, I am driven to create dynamic, multi-sensory work through the mediums of photography, cinematography, painting, sculptural ceramics, and glass. I work in an expressive, gestural, and instinctive manner; mark making, excavating, building-up, layering surface and patina.
