My slip cast forms try to keep true to the function and forms of traditional ceramics, while trying to reflect them in a modern and contemporary way. Portraying stories and meanings imbedded within the porcelain forms through print and surface texture is a key aspect to my work. It looks at forgotten places which lie derelict and in a state of decline. The work tries to give its viewer a sense of what the place was once like through print of paper ephemera, as well as illustrating the state of decay in the surface texture.

 Another part of my work looks at my interest in the decline of the ceramic industry. These pieces (Vases) concentrate on using traditional industrial techniques of mould making. Following a similar theme to the other work it uses print to show the historical status the industry and its workers once had, as well as the distressed surface relating to industrial methods like sprigging making symbolic reference to the downfall of the ceramic industry. Like the cracked original wax moulds the pieces act as an icon of the remains of a once thriving workplace.

Being made for a competition with the Wedgwood Museum; some of these Vases now sit with in there permanent collection after being selected as the overall winner.
