"My intention is not anatomical correctness. I just aim to convey the spirit, special characteristics or even a caricature of the bird."
These bird-like sculptures progressed from my earlier “visitor” series- humanoid but not human, more creatures of another era or world.
Like them, my birds are coil built from a speckled Australian clay called BRT. Once I have finished the general shape, I refine them with a hacksaw blade until they are smooth, and I am happy with the shape.
For the past year or so I have been enjoying throwing black stoneware. Floor pots, platters, bowls, sometimes mugs.
I enjoy the contrast of the black slightly gritty clay with the smooth coloured glaze surface.
