Volcanology

These coil and sculptural built forms have a strong alignment with nature embodying mountains, volcanoes, great edifices to behold, with a hint of illustrative prowess adding a simplistic but yet still curiously playful element.

The work aims to reach out and captivate a viewer’s innocent spirit in the hope they still retain an essence of the dreamer about them.

I work mainly in Terracotta, growing up on a farm I am invigorated by mud, clay to me is both mud and soul. Reds and sunburst colours of the sky are a strong influence, their richness and fire shine through this volcanology inspired work.
