Hound Head

“My work is a celebration of the animal with influence being drawn from Staffordshire figures, T’ang sculptures and Antiquity. More recently I have returned to narrative and metaphor, focussing on horses, bears, dogs and elephants. I try to capture the spirit of the animal with my slab building techniques and also mould making as part of the process. I mix and formulate my own glazes and slips which are hand painted and fired to achieve subtleties in surface texture and colour.”
