From Vessels to Sculpture. A New Direction in the Studio

This year I have moved away from making vessels and bowls to concentrate solely on sculpture, which is where my passion lies. Whilst I am still always happy to get a commission for a vessel and enjoy the methodical nature of coiling a very big vessel, sculpture allows me to explore form and scale more freely, and it is where my focus continues to grow.

I am working on pushing the scale of my pieces, which is always a balancing act when you have a small studio and a kiln that insists on setting boundaries. There is something satisfying about testing those physical limits while staying true to the essence of the work. This has led into developing work for outdoor spaces, where sculpture can interact with its surroundings in new ways, which I find very exciting.
