I draw inspiration from the natural environment around my studio as well as images from my South African childhood.   These sights and sounds are distilled into minimalist, abstract sculptures and vessels. The symmetry and classical balance of wheel-thrown pieces is deliberately altered, creating sensual shapes with a dynamic center of gravity.  These works explore issues of containment and emptiness by reinterpreting traditional approaches to shape, volume and space.
