» Artist's resume

Maker's statement: My recent work has focussed on a range of vessels inspired by archaic objects that have long lost their functional or intended utility. The often ambiguous nature of ancient implements excites my curiosity and love of history. Whilst the origins of the conceptual source may have been humbly domestic or spiritually symbolic, the resultant pieces I produce are intended to incite reflection on the past and contemplation on what may have been.
