 The inspiration for my work came from the natural
sources of lilies and its leaves, this illustrated a correlation
between the linear qualities of the lily and the process of making
I use in my work, the linear concept became an integral part of
my composition. Through
my progression of making I developed a vocabulary which dealt with
the layering of different lines to make a really unusual texture. The
quality of texture on my pieces comes from using slip in many different
ways to give diverse styles of lines. This approach has suggested
other qualities in my pieces, the skeletal ideals from slip trailing
have now become about the body and form of a piece giving a contrast
between the strongness of the clay and fragility of the slip, not
dissimilar to the ideals of a lily or leaf which looks strong but
is also very delicate. My pieces are textured sculptural forms
which give a suggestion of the vessel and of containment, using the
form of the lily as inspiration.
