"My work (Elegant tableware and functional vessels] combines the
gestural ideologies of Abstract Expressionism with the seemingly
contradictory austerity of Minimalism. The blackness of the clay
creates a stark initial impression, however, when closely viewed
through its use, the texture of the clay, which is actually roughened
by additional sand, naturalises and mellows its perception. Subtle
traces of throwing marks, spontaneous slip marks and other symbols of
creation are retained."
