While my earlier work focused on the built up structure, later the interplay of separate parts and the contrasting characteristics of various clays are what did the talking. Over the last few years however I have worked on projects that involved printing onto clay which has forced me to consider surface in new ways. In a recent large public art-work connected to a motorway construction project, photographic prints depicting maps and various images relating to local geography were screen-printed onto clay forms and folded into a large lava-like pour.
