"Extinction is truly forever, persistence a personal odyssey"
- Stephen Jay Gould

"To the eyes of a man of imagination, nature is imagination itself"
- William Blake

My work consists of both part thrown, sculptural vessels and figurative pieces that combine ceramic elements with found tree sections. The intention of the objects is to provoke thought about the nature of the relationship between Man and the natural world. As things stand this will always be a destructive one, at present it is Man destroying nature, ultimately this will reverse and our current despoliation of the environment will cause our own destruction.
