Inspired by describing a sense of humanity, these sculptures delve into the nature of community, the interplay between individual and the collective, intimacy and anonymity, and how each of these platforms of identity, influences our relationship with the diversity of environments in which we exist.

My entry into the world of sculptural form was through the discipline of ceramics in the late 1970s. An intimate relationship with earth and fire has been a great teacher, demanding discipline and innovation. I remain a disciple as both a reminder of my heritage and an ongoing source of inspiration.
