My work is influenced by the land I inhabit, responding to its topography and history, and my personal experience of it. I am drawn to vessels as the starting point for my thoughts, and my pieces - whilst sculptural in intent - reference functional pottery both ancient and contemporary. They take their forms from objects used to store, contain and sustain, in this way they are like the land which itself sustains and holds us.
Tolmen is a series of works rooted in Dartmoor. It speaks of the land it has come from and my attempts to connect with it through walking and gathering found clays. The colours of the slipped and scratched surfaces are the colours of this land.
