WORK
Portfolio
A selection of my recent work. Including ‘Ilsa 70s – Tangerine Dream’, finalist in this years Parkin Drawing Award.
Ceramic Work
I have recently started a series of experiments in ceramics using black sand as an intrinsic material within the clay, echoing the composition of West Coast beaches. Using Raku and gas firing the iron black sand has reactive chemical properties that gives the clay a black appearance and unique textural qualities.
