Paperclay Sculpture

My art practise is based upon two simple things. Paper and clay. I create and fire paperclay sculptures, and carve compressed paper sculptures.

After my first demonstration in 1993, I begun to receive regular requests for workshops and demonstrations. The number of requests has been consistent for the last decade, at about a dozen per year.

My ceramic paperclay work is an attempt to illustrate this on-going interest in the organisation of the arts and crafts, and society.

I am inspired by architecture and local plants, while trying to suggest the cycles, rigidities and dynamic nature of our society, and myself.

My compressed paper sculptures are a by-product of office work, research, everyday correspondence and junk mail. Since 1994 it has been a way to create silence in a world of information overload.
