My work is inspired by rural landscape, often informed by the surrounding Fens, with its renowned skies, crops in fields, and isolated farm buildings. My pieces are open to the viewers interpretation, but with the common theme of space and wild landscape. Constructed using thinly rolled slab building techniques, textures are created through mark making with found items picked up from around the family farm. They all feed into the narrative of the work.

I decorate with my own coloured terra sigillata slips. The refined diluted slips allow all the textures and marks to be retained.
