Unique stoneware ceramics that try to capture the poignant beauty and drama of  weathering and corrosion - the point of balance between existence and decay.  
I find the vessel form the most satisfying to use and enjoy the traditional method of wheel-throwing, which adds to the sense of capturing time. I like the simplicity and elegance of form achievable with throwing ribs to eliminate finger ridges and use'T' material - strong, coarse clay - mixed with a smooth white stoneware to give strong, rugged, yet finely balanced pieces. 
For many years I have experimented with methods of colour application to the surface of my pots, having been entranced by the peeling paint and sun-faded natural colours in Southern Europe. In recent years living near the coast has added a contrasting strand to my work - stark, white chalk, deep green/blue sea, erosion and natural colours and markings of flints. I use vitreous slips, which I mix and intermix from primary stains and apply to the exterior surface whilst the pot is still damp. The interior matt, slightly sparkly, glaze is a dramatic contrast to the rugged exterior. I like to make fine-walled pots, so stoneware firing ensures that the piece is strong and durable.
