In addition to some
hand-building techniques, the basic structure of all my ceramics is thrown on
the Potter's Wheel. Although the works appear to be functional, it should be
enjoyed for its esthetic beauty and symbolism.
Contrasts in both clay colour and texture are an important aspect highlighted in
each design. This is achieved through varying the decoration and firing
techniques. In designing and firing the ware, influences of both modern and
ancient as well as first and third world, are used to create a pleasing and
well balanced result.
The preferred medium in
which I work is warm earthenware terracotta with a white slip and cobalt
decoration.
