In 2016 I decided to participate in Clayworx pottery sale. I've always made vessel forms for my sculptural practice and thought pottery more simple and quick, but could not have been more wrong. Informed by my painting experience, I choose a clean look that focused on simple, formal aspects. Over time my approach has evolved, but the colours, glazes and forms improved, but the principles remain the same. All vessels are high fired stoneware with a matte white base overlaid with coloured glazes. My inspiration for the painted surface is drawn from many realistic, art historical, literary and material based sources
