About me:

I am a contemporary ceramic artist. My ceramic work is art object and social comment. Individual pieces are often shown alongside drawings and installations. Sometimes the pieces themselves become subject matter for photographs.

It is my intention to change people's preconceptions of ceramics. I take historical models and references and then use them mixed with contemporary influences.

I subvert familiar forms to represent something other than their intended design and function. Humour is a common strand underlying all my work; both absurd and provocative
