"As I cup newly kneaded clay in my hand, it puts me in mind of shells and ammonites. I am drawn to thinking about how far reaching, both backwards and forwards, this process connects me to the earth.
I find my inspiration in the landscape I inhabit. Having spent much of my adult life living in Bristol studying for my ceramics degree at Bower Ashton School of Art, I am drawn to ‘edges’ in the urban landscape. This can mean the point at which stone meets metal or brick meets concrete. At my home in West Wales amidst this wild land I now move through, it is the natural edges of rock and tree, sea and cliff, pebble and pool that draw my attention." AW
