Ceramic works created using Dartmoor sourced materials, reflecting upon the colours and textures of the rock, and the lichens and fungi that grow on and around it. The weather and landscape may seem harsh at times, but life teems upon it and within it. The bowl form is a container for thoughts and ideas, this shape is taken from the silhouette of Ripon Tor, looked at daily from my windows, a constant, beautiful presence in strange times.

An artists book accompanies each work, an indicator of the research which informs the making, and an invitation for the viewer to explore…
