how i work
I am located in the north east of England, and my
work is primarily
sculptural and installation-based. Much of it incorporates ceramic processes – but
frequently does not use clay, the traditional potter’s material.
The coming together of materials and
processes in my work is just a
passing moment in their existence. Weathering, dissolution and final
destruction of pieces by whatever agency (human intervention, chemistry,
physics, weather, tide) is characteristic. I recognise and welcome this
lack of permanence – as human beings we are part of a very long-lived
world. The earth is likely to last for many millennia after our species
has disappeared and our impact on the planet has faded.
In line with these observations I have of the world, I actively encourage
alteration in my work by exposing pieces, for instance, to weather or
tide. I also generate pieces whose very fragility offers the opportunity
for them to express this ephemerality.
In each piece I make, the development of what I am seeking to convey,
and the process by which I achieve that, are as important as the end
product itself.
While being open to stimuli, influences, perceptions, ideas and emotions,
I seek to be focused and methodical in following through to the final
making of my work.
