I
have a passion for the natural environment and for planetary conservation, and most of my work is inspired and informed by this. I feel I have a spiritual connection with the Earth, and need to communicate this. I have, therefore, been working on a large body of sculptural works in ceramic and mixed media expressing my deep and overwhelming concern for the future of our planet in this age of climate change, and my frustration at the universal unwillingness of the political classes to take any meaningful action. People are very confused by all the conflicting information which the media flood them with, myself included, and I express this confusion in an abstract way, hoping that it may connect and focus ideas. This involves a large amount of experimentation with materials and forms, and I enjoy the occasional failures as well as the successes, as this drives on the creative processes.
