Horns and beaks, textured lines, black rough surface with metallic feel, my sculptural forms host wild animals, between inlaid patterns, joined long necks and bizarre protrusions. I want my pieces to resonate the raw and authentic beauty of Early Cypriot ritualistic pots, the significance of the bird, the Minoan obsession with the glorious bull. I focus on hand-building, the making method I find most satisfying, which allows me to marry the animal & the plant world with my pots. Constant glaze experimentation is at the centre of my practice, enriching my sgraffito patterns and bringing colour and texture onto my surfaces.
