Work produced at the Royal College of Art
The body of work that was conceived during my recent MA at the RCA is concerned with exploring how scale, colour, texture and material inform our perception and understanding of form. The space an object occupies through its scale has a significant role in determining our relationship with it. Colour, whether bright, soft, intense or vivid has a powerful effect in defining its character. Textural treatment invites us to examine the tactile qualities of the surface and how this influences our ability to read and comprehend a form. This is further emphasized when choosing the material, whether solid, dense ceramics or translucent glass.

Handbuilt and carved raku fired work. The vessels were largely in shades of black and metallic greys; an attempt to re-focus the attention on form through simple repetitive patterns that explore rhythm and movement.

Naked Raku - 2003-2008
