My practice has a dual focus; artistic development through sculpture, functional work and commissions, and teaching adults hand-building skills in courses. My work embraces the slow pace of hand-building, developing a piece's character and narrative in response to the form. I add colour, line and texture to accentuate characteristics and evoke ideas, assisting me through self-discovery and processing the external world. My work has a strong visual style, connecting it as I explore techniques.
