Satyr

This chap was a completely subconscious arrival - while doing an observational study he suddenly grew hooves and horns.  The Satyr may speak of secreted, forgotten exploits and reveling.

Torso


This Vingerling stoneware torso is the first large successful piece using the direct application method.  It is high fired and, as with most of my sculpture, can be displayed inside or in the garden.

Olivia Torso


This torso has a solid monumental energy, this is especially effective as she is built hollow of Scarva stoneware and areas allow light to flow through the figure.

Beginnings

This Vingerling stoneware torso is nearly life size.  She is particularly beautiful when the light shines through the open spaces.  I hope one day she'll be placed between a the viewer and a sunrise.

Good Deeds


'Good Deeds' is a small fellow who might echo Ron Mueck's work.  At 21cm he's a little kindness in Scarva black stoneware with gold wings.

Work in Progress

This gives you some idea of how I work - the method is immediate and the most minimal armature is used.

Waiting

This is the finished piece seen in 'work in progress'.  She is made in Vingerling, a Dutch stoneware, and currently resides in my garden.
The question is always how little is enough.

Lucy





Lucy is a 40cm stoneware abstraction.  She's an interior or garden piece and focus is placed on the simplicity of weight and form.

Dancing Venus

A result of feeling life was a little flat, I created this dancing figure as a symbol of all the joys available to us.
She subconsciously references fertility goddesses and my all time favorite, the Venus of Willendorf.
