Text and maps have been transferred onto the delicate medium of porcelain and combined with glazes to create sculptural geo-historic pieces of work. They bring together elements of place; the small details merging past with the present, inviting the viewer to consider their own interaction and experience of a place.
Sea Change 1/3
Delicate porcelain pieces incorporate selected elements from vintage maps and holiday guides, drawing on a treasured time in British history and celebrating the hey-day of the British seaside holiday.
The seaside is an emotive backdrop for our imaginations and reflections. Text from novels, where the narrative is based in and around a seascape, has been woven into the pieces.
Glazes of different colours and textures have been chosen to blend the piece together, colours of the seascape, vast skies and the ocean.

Walkscapes - Bath
Each walk creating a different perception of a place according to where one strolls.
Taking the idea that strolling, or walking, can be an Aesthetic Practice (Francesco Careri 2009) Walkscapes deals with strolling as an architecture of landscape. A way of creating a specific perception of a place.

Rainy Camping Trip Down The M5
A rainy camping trip!
Camping In The Lakes
Remembering trips I have spent walking, climbing and camping among the Lakeland fells. A place I love.
A Hilly Walk
Text and images taken from vintage maps and guides of hilly areas such as the Lake District and the Mendips, have been combined with Latitudes and Longitudes from hilly walks I have made.
I Want To Ride My Bicycle
Riding a bicycle through the landscape knits together places in a way that driving a car through them can not. This ceramic piece uses early 1950's cycling magazines alongside text from modern cycling guides to create a celebration of travel using a bicycle.
