<p>Clay is a wonderful material very malleable and versatile. You can change its strength, texture, colour and form but it also imposes its own limits.   </p>
<p>Geology and the natural world are what inspire me; the textures, form and structure all have an influence on my work.  I take photographs of coral reefs and shipwrecks and it is these images that I use in my work.</p>
