The Work
The work focuses on the force of nature and wilderness. An interest in ‘animalness’, of what it is like to be
animal, the inner force which is inherent to nature and ourselves.
A becoming animal occurs in the making, direct and energetic the clay becomes inhabited rather than an
image of its self. Aiming to keep the energy and pace of drawing within the making of forms. The clay allows a
fast, direct and uninterrupted way of drawing in space, creating tensions between inner mass and outer
surface.
Bringing together this wild, brutal, otherness of animals with domestic objects, or civilised spaces we inhabit
creates tensions. This collision is mirrored in the different paces and languages of materials, -the irritants and
relationships created between clay, wood, brass etc.
Living on a farm in the countryside environment and spending time in the wilderness of the Belize jungle is the
stuff of life and drives the work. Human souls are bound up in nature, the more separated we are from nature
the unhappier we become.
