A piece about landscape and human interaction with land, as was the previous form. I feel a theme coming on!

Some of Becker's writing informs some of the artworks I do; most of them!

First firing in the very old and tired Ridgeway

The old girl fired really well to about 1200c this time

lightening up

from the landscape series or "souffle" as in french cuisine,

Art photography?

things that go bump in the night

Black and white

that won't fit in there! Actually the Ridgeway is wired up now.Can't wait for this piece to dry so I can fire it up and see how well it goes or not.

the latest

it is interesting how the work is in close up cropping style

transformation 2

photo colour is slightly exaggerated but is about how I wanted it to turn out

transformation

after the bisque and before the glaze

cubed

 small works made around a cube shape, a grisly sculpture and a flattened form, pink.all from last weeks firings.

down to the bone

this new work hovers between the repulsive and the acceptable

closed form - grey landscape

emphasis on transparency and opaque parts within a turbulent but structured surface

back at it

studies for some serious new work!

sentinels

This is a piece from an ongoing series begun last year. Heavy and vigorous use of blue and white technique.

revision

Here is some work I did before the current series. Some pieces are from the Jam Factory show I had in 2007.

rework

reworking a previously "finished piece".

a hand sized "paper weight"

voila

colour my day

now to let it dry, bring on the sun!

under construction

 finishing another tableau on a rainy autumn day

Warmish

These pieces are all around 30 x 22 x 6 cm, just fitting into my little ward kiln.

shelled

a smaller visceral work I was thinking of the finish and color of interior of abalone or sword fish shells.

visceral tableau

Some more tableaux.

Clay 2010 Ceramic Sculpture

This is part of  what I have been working on over the summer. Visceral, organic clay forms contained in  a loose geometric format. Some luscious surfaces,slips and glazes mid fired.
