Halifax Waterfront

Sculptural vessels in porcelain with inlaid decoration in shapes and colours inspired by the Halifax waterfront and maps of the city. Inlaid decoration is applied to both the inside and outside of the pieces, with the pink lines representing my journey as a visitor and explorer in a new city. The vessel shapes and glazes represent the layers and reflective surfaces of the high rise buildings on the waterfront.

Inside Outside

A pair of sculptural vessels in black porcelain with coloured porcelain inlay representing a variety of skin tones. The decoration is either on the inside or the outside representing the perception being an insider or an outsider in our society based on colour and ethnic origin.

Downtown

Sculptural vessels with inlaid colour representing the clash of colour and light where the man made and natural world come together in the city. The shapes represent the man made structure that dominates the natural world.

Strata

Strata collection is the result of a development in my slab technique, using layers of slabs to create layers of pattern to represent different points in time. Inspired by rock formations and colours from the sea.

Full Circle

Sculptural vessels in different sizes representing growth and different stages of life. The colours are inspired by the Angus and Fife coasts, with the patterns representing travels, tides and maps. The work is part of a collaboration with a friend, reunited after 30 years apart.
