Wired landscape - chicken wire and other found objects were held against the underglazed and fired form before being re-glazed in the spray booth. A delicate form of landscape 34cm

Symbolic landscape was designed specifically to reference in my essay. It brings together habitat theory, habitat as refuge and prospect as well as nature as process according to Malcolm Andrews..2@ 34cm, 1 @16cm

Eruption at sea nearly didn't make it. In its green state, while I manhandled the beast (54cm high) to attend to the base, the top half broke off and collapsed on the floor. Thanks to Jim's skills in bringing the dead back to life, he pummeled it back into a cylinder form and then I took over. I gave it 2 firings & more glaze to add life into the bottom panels and the result is most pleasing.

Peagreen form with cloud


This piece seems to evoke a sense of wanting to be touched by people - the surface is matt but warm somehow. The size too lends itself to being held. I am quite attached to it myself! 51cm
