“My intention is to ‘seek the sacred in the ordinary’. I endeavour to make contemplative objects which have a utilitarian dimension. My aesthetic inspiration is drawn from the patterns, colours and textures in the urban and natural African landscape.

Applying techniques of press moulding, casting and throwing I use earthenware clays, slips and underglazes.
