40: Bird Figure I
The two sculptures I have made for this exhibition combine human and bird forms with the touch of an angel too.
I coiled the shapes using craft crank clay and then added and cut away clay to achieve the final form. I used oxides and transparent glaze with gold lustre details to complete the surfaces. They sit on wooded plinths with a steel rod securing them to the ground and are suitable for all weather.
Stoneware, ceramic, gold lustre, steel rod, wood.

I have made things from clay since I was a young child and love the tactile squidginess of the material. I was fortunate to attend a school where art – making was central to our education. My sculptures depict creatures, humans and natural forms in a stylised way, and I fire them to stoneware or using the raku technique. There is some control in the making and surrender to chance in the firing.
