The Abyss

Product description

An apocalyptic view of the world increasingly damaged by human activity.

Over the last 20 years or so, ceramic sculpting and conceptual form making have increasingly become my creative language. A progressive exploration in materials and found objects has widened my creativity and focused my political and ethical commentary on modern life.

All my work is entirely made by hand, starting with clay or with paperclay which I make from recycled clay and old newspapers, often built in sections for pieces over 1 metre high, carved and decorated and painted by hand. The only equipment used are kilns and a glaze spraying gun.

I use my skill and experience to try and realize people’s ideas and I have made some unusual and improbable sculptures like a guitar, a fire extinguisher, a melodeon and several ecclesiastical memorials!

I have been lucky to have many clients and collectors who have given me the justification to pursue my interest.
