It is ceramic sculpture that fascinates me the most, my main themes being myths, legends, folklore, and ancient warriors.
The criteria for all the work is that it is essentially made to please me, whether it is a commission, a gift or is ultimately to sell. This ensures that there is a continued enjoyment in the process of creating unique, entirely hand-built pieces of sculpture.
I also mold and cast (in metal resins) some of the ceramic pieces. The results can be treated and aged, just like the real metals, giving unique patinas and effects. I’ve also had some ceramic sculptures cast in real bronze at the Talos Art Foundry in Andover, UK.
That said, it is clay, and all its infinite possibilities, that will always be the number one thing for me.
