Figurative Work

Inspiration: Movement in and through space

"In my figurative work it is the language of spatial relationships between people that is of primary interest. Especially the language of the spatial relationships between people evinced in street gatherings and in contemporary dance.

These forms of interaction are sensual, physical experiences with emotional and psychological reverberations.

After dance, clay is the most direct, physically responsive medium that I know. That one’s dialogue with the medium can be frozen into permanence with fire by processes which continue a sensual dialogue and have elements of chance and risk add further to the excitement of ceramics."
