My aesthetic draws from my cultural lineage, blending the crudely-hewn functionality of pioneering North America – bread bowls, troughs and baskets, with the simple, clean lines and minimalism of Northern Europe, and the odd, small homage to the textile arts of Britain’s Romantic past. While I continue to maintain my ceramics practice I have been working to shift the balance of my practice towards this sculptural work, working more with mixed media, particularly leather and wood.
