Drawing
in action
I have done some experiments with live drawing for video. Speeded up so they come in bite size chunks.

A current strand of my work is exploring
ways of drawing - but not from immediate observation.
A context of contradictions
I work in ceramics, a medium that many consider redundant and I suspect I am part of a movement that seeks to resist what might appear inevitable by looking for contemporary ways to work in this medium. I also work with drawing.
Change
the world - redraw it in clay.
I work with my hands; with clay because it is a plastic, constructive material which responds to my touch and to my thinking, I draw for the same reasons. Working directly with your hands is becoming a rare and valuable experience. A lot of my work is figurative in some way or makes reference to figuration. I hope it is of it's time, that is certainly my aim.
I use diverse ways to display and publish work - installations, websites, workshops, online video as well as wall and plinth based shows.
What to
make of clay in the 21st century?
I use an iconography drawn from my history as man and boy mixed liberally with references to art and contemporary life. I try to synthesise my instincts and my conscious ideas in what I make.
