Decorative Arts
The most personally expressive section of my working practice, my objective is to convey a sense of pleasure in the making and transmit a sense of optimism. Often figurative, more recently abstract, Nature and The 'Life Force' are inspiration and subject. The 1980's was nature of the sea, then in the 90's nature of the land and, most recently under the earths' crust, the 'magma' and crystal formations. Adrian Sassoon is exclusive art dealer for these works.

Magmas
Expressing a more abstract side of nature these are inspired by crystal forms and liquid magma in the centre of the earth. My objective is to express a sense of energy in the spirit of nature.
Atomics
Literally inspired by thinking and learning about the atom, nature at its most essential, these spherical forms give a sense of energy and fun.
Nature
Inspired by natural forms and surfaces which are endless in nature. Symbolism is important, for example, a pumpkin is a symbol of fertility and fecundity, and a blackberry is a symbol of tenacity.
Public and Commercial
I enjoy placing work in a community for a community. Often site-specific these are projects, for hospitals, parks, schools, libraries and sometimes commercial ventures. Some projects take years to complete. Most recently I have worked in collaboration with architects EPR. A list of my major commissions can be found on page 6 of my CV by clicking here.

Glazes and Glazing
Glaze has infinite variations. Each different glaze colour and surface is made using a specific recorded recipe of mineral ingredients. I have an archive of literally hundreds of my own recipes, especially stoneware crystalline glazes. This carefully recorded archive feeds and advances all areas of my work. It is a thrill to mix and invent new colours and surfaces. My studio workshop team help me push this research forward on an ongoing and often specific direction - depending on the projects of the moment specific research diretion.
