Imagine in 10,000 years time, as the polar caps begin to refreeze, a piece of your work emerges from the receding waters. Perhaps, as in the past, the resilience of ceramics will make it the dominant medium representing today’s material culture; our giant steel and concrete structures long since corroded into an abyss of shattered glass and shredded plastic. If humans still exist what will they make of your work? Or if some other life form, perhaps more intelligent than ours, has inherited the earth what questions would they ask; and, if you were able, how would you answer them?
