Pushme Pullyou

Inspired by my star sign, Pisces, this porcelain relief is an image I draw repeatedly and have now crafted to a sculpture which incorporates light and form.

Iron Torso

This torso gesture figure is finished in an oxide and graphite combination.  It was a 'happy accident' and I'm most pleased with the iron/rust surface.

Hugh's Torso

This is one of the torso gesture series.  In this case, finished in stoneware fired crank with iron and a touch of chome oxide.

Alodie Torso

This female study is actually finished in a saggar - it's a rather wonderful kiln within the kiln which gives the surface an unpredictable, but full finish.

This torso is part of a London patron's rather extensive collection.

Paris

This oxide enhanced figure was inspired by a souvenir I saw in Paris.  She balances on her bum. 

Balancing is a  design I first attempted with Ball Girl and Rocking Horse.

Ball Girl

Ball Girl is my first attempt at creating a sculpture which depended on accurately using weight to balance the piece. The sphere was a good deal more difficult to create than the figure.

She's finished in oxides and resides in a private collection in Leiden, The Netherlands,

Rocking Horse

Rocking Horse is part of the balancing act series. He does stand without assistance.

Bird Watcher

This duo are an extension of two life studies I did in early 2005.  They actually worked better as a pair and are currently in a private collection in West London.

The clay body is crank which is finished in iron oxide.

Looking Back

This robust stoneware figure is another arrival from my subconscious.  She's in my garden and loves sun or snow...
