"I hand build my pieces using slabs and small sections of clay. Imprints on the exterior of my work are a way of leaving a memory. Some: delicate imprints of nature, others: harsh marks - all refer to life’s experiences. These impressions built together make a whole piece or “the person”. Leaving marks of the making process, therefore, is an important aspect of my work. I finish each piece by thinning out the clay to give a sense of fragility. The use of feathers and leaves also express transience."
