Statement

When I am out in the landscape I am aware of an energy, a vibrancy that pervades all things. Each item has its own sense of being. Outdoors, this sense of being appears to be magnified so that the forms in the land can seem to be alive. Standing stones have a presence, trees seem to be listening, and mountains have personality, sometimes like a brooding animal or sleeping peacefully, but always alive. Weather and nature, and sometimes man, have left their marks. My work is about these things. I make marks on clay and manipulate it, using earthy surfaces and glazes. I also enjoy how changing light conditions change mood.

I am interested in making forms in ceramic that derive from the landscape and contain something of this energy and sense of being alive.

I practise from a studio at Dyce, a few miles outside Aberdeen at the above address. Visitors are welcome, by arrangement.
