Every aspect of the making process is exploited, through utilising the inherent qualities of the material, employing carving and mould making techniques, to controlled multiple kiln firings. Working in this way results in surprising and unexpected forms that are reworked at various stages. The pristine surface finish is achieved through a laborious process of sanding and burnishing throughout the making process.

The subtle play of light and shade gives definition to the sculptures with their oblique references to architectural and natural forms. The structure, balance and purity of form, combined with the strength of the material, produces their quiet but powerful emotional impact.
