"I work in a tin shed in a valley.
The figures from the 'Procession' come out of the hedge that I can see from the window. They march past reviving forgotten imagery of childhood stories and our cultural myths. I try to draw them in that first fleeting glimpse.
They are made from coiled, grog clay and either wood and salt fired or burnished and low fired.
I see them as sort of elemental beings.
Some of the pieces on show are part of a large and ongoing collection of creatures, eventually to be exhibited in their entirety. I teach part time to keep myself in clay."
