I like to use various construction combinations - slabbing, throwing, moulding and extruding when making, and I always work with stoneware clay for its strength and finish.
The texture and decoration are important to me. I love the way the gold reflects and gives movement, and it is an integral part of my work's emotion.
I draw the native flowers, birds and animals in these works and then convert them into decals with 9ct Gold decoration.
Often my inspiration is our coast and Island status for many of my one-off sculptural pieces.
I live and work in Bendigo Vic. My pots are available from The Bendigo Pottery, Midland Highway Epsom and The Colonial Bank Gallery, Pall Mall Bendigo.
