ARTIST STATEMENT

As an artist, potter and designer I am deeply interested in textile patterns, Victorian etiquette, architectural tracery, and the history of the table. Some influences over the past years have been the softness of tufted Victorian sitting room chairs, and the architectural motifs and quatrefoils of European Gothic cathedrals.

Working strictly with porcelain clay, the work is thrown, trimmed, altered and decorated, then fired to cone six in an electric oxidation atmosphere. I am still continuing to push my ideas and am excited to incorporate new research into my studio practice!
