"My ceramic sculptures are inspired by our human experience, and how we connect with each other and the world around us through rituals and ceremonies. I first became interested in our use of rituals during a trip to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem in 1985. I was fascinated to watch as people prayed and left messages as a way to feel a sense of connection to each other, their spiritual selves and a higher power."

"Religions and cultures across the world have used the elements of the natural world in ceremonies and rituals for millennia and it is this connection that continues to inspire my work all these years later. We rely on nature for our existence, our physical and mental wellbeing.  Humans and nature, we are essentially as one.  My work focuses on the blurring of this boundary.  Organic earthy forms combine with elements more ordered and refined.  Repeated layers merging and emerging trace the connection and importance of our precious relationship with Mother Earth."
