With my background in architecture my sensibilities are drawn to Modernism. In 2009 in “Echoes in Form” I made figures based on key Modernist female artists working in the 1920s and 30s both in Europe and Australia. I interpreted the figures by simplifying surfaces and forms. The following year  I unified many Mayan inspired figures and busts by  using one stone-coloured glaze combined with some areas of blue. Two years later with “Substance” I decided to explore a plethora of glazes to convey the properties of the Earth’s elements.  This time I concentrated on very large heads on towering necks.  I have no one approach. With every new theme I  develop new methods, forms and surface finishes.
