Throughout my work I continue to explore my ongoing fascination for Ancient Cultures, African Artifacts and Medieval Iconic Art which embodies a broad interest in the history of the Arts and Crafts from ancient to industrial through a 21st century sensibility.
The vessel forms reflect my intention to embrace familiar classical shapes, exploring the potential of the human form further representing the metaphor of the body as a vessel incorporating simplified abstractions of nature together with colour, texture and simple gestural shapes creating a rhythmic quality further enhancing the connection between the surface space and the volume of the form.

– Fish and birds have always been part of my iconography. Together with my portraits they’ve become autobiographical design elements that repeat themselves throughout my work adding both a narrative and mythical presence to the forms.
– I cannot underestimate the effect on my work, having spent more than two decades in the Karoo Wilderness, a place of extremes where the weather has a major influence, creating an awareness of both life and death, where small things matter, often reflecting the spirit of the human condition.
– It is in the remoteness of this prehistoric landscape and sympathetic environment that I found a renewed energy in my work which fired up my imagination and aspirations.
