I'm a ceramic artist based in Norwich. My practise explores the layers, traces and stories of our past.
My creative practice explores the intersection between archaeological research and art. In the 1990s I worked as an archaeologist on community and landscape research projects and commercial excavations. After specialising in aerial photography, I was lucky enough to spend 20 years discovering, mapping and recording archaeological sites in East Anglia. The decoration of my ceramics is heavily influenced by the layering and patterns of these ancient landscapes that reveal themselves on the surface of the land, Stylised trackways and enclosures traverse my ceramic surfaces, often ‘excavated’ or eroded away to reveal a hidden layer. I also explore the meanings, narratives and afterlives of objects and artefacts in my more sculptural works.
