Earth Medicine
Welcome to my gallery space. Hoping you enjoy the experience and can share my vision of global respect and admiration for our bountiful planet.
As a creative person with social and environmental vision, I have been exploring the many attributes of working with clay for over 10 years now. As a nature lover and environmentalist I find clay to be the perfect vehicle in which to express my respect for our gracious and abundant world.
As an artist with a great deal of social awareness and moral conviction I endeavor to translate my perceptions of our human experience into 3D form.
I live rurally, enjoying the countryside in and around Glastonbury, Somerset, England. Blessed with the beauty which surrounds me I am inspired to recreate the essence of my world experience.
I approach my work holistically, translating my perceptions of our human condition 'on earth': 'with earth': 'through earth'...as ceramics are an alchemical art I naturally work with the five elements to create each image.
Hoping you enjoy sharing my world vision, each piece of work is hand-made, original and unique in both approach and application. They are made with love and given with love and as a result they emanate love. The source and essence of all life, as above so below...as within so without.
As you explore you will find conceptual explanations to each piece of art, including a brief explanation of the associated ethos or myth expressed through the symbolism and glazing elements involved.
Wishing you an enjoyable, enlightening experience...
Blessings
