"My work is all meticulously hand built, using traditional ceramic techniques. Each piece is coil built, then the shape is refined before adding surface decorations of sprigged (press molded) ephemera or enamel decoration.
My inspiration comes from many and varied sources such as contemporary culture, traditional rhymes and folk and fairy tales and historical Art and Design styles. My main inspiration however, is the long European tradition of appropriation and reinterpretation of exotic styles, such as the 18th Century obsession with Eastern motifs and Classical proportions culminating in Victorian design excess, where anything and everything goes."
