Echo This piece is based on the Roman myth of Echo and Narcissus. #contemporaryceramics #figurativesculpture #romanmythologyart #echoandnarcissus #ceramicsculpture

Echo - a work in progress This piece is based on the Roman myth of Echo and Narcissus. I have been playing with various configurations to try and represent the projection, movement, and symmetry of sounds. #ceramicsculpture #echoandnarcissus #romanmythology #ovid #metamorphoses #figurativeart

The watchful tree - work in progress Based on the dryad from Greek mythology, tree nymphs who inhabit and protect trees. The watchful tree is the folk name for birch trees. #greekmythology #dryad #artcollecting #ceramicsculpture

Little Faun - work in progress. He is reminding me of Bottom from A Midsummer Night's dream at the moment, I think it's the head tilt/ears combination. Making some horns next for my little Faun. #faun #mythology #nickbottom #midsummernightsdream #shakespeare

Dryad - based on the woodland nymphs who inhabit the trees or tree spirits. I think I'm going to make a series of these. #dryad #woodlandnymph #mythology #figurativesculpture #ceramics

Dryad - work in progress. Adding tiny porcelain mushrooms. #dryad #mythology #figurativesculpture #mushroom #art

Dryad - work in progess. Building up the trunk of her body using the bark texture. I've changed the layout of the branches a few times. I'm hoping to capture a unity between the two forms, one emerging from the other. #dryad #mythology #treespirit #figurativesculpture

Dryad- work in progress

Pressing clay into tree bark to create texture. I am beginning to make my first Dryad (nymph or nature spirit who inhabits trees) this texture was taken from our willow tree. I'm hoping to make a series of these. #ceramics #mythology #dryad #figurativeart #figurativesculpture

I've finished modelling the forms, so the next stage is mould making. I've made two-piece press moulds, using several layers of mod roc, followed by a layer of plaster for strength. #plastermoulds #ceramics #mouldmaking

Modelling new busts to fit the smaller scale heads. #ceramicsculpture #figurativesculpture #figurativeart

A couple of heads made using my new fossil hoard from Lyme Regis.

My fossil hoard from a recent trip to Lyme Regis. I bought these in The Old Forge Fossil Shop (image of T-Rex skull in their shop window). I didn't manage to find any fossils on the beach but I'm really happy with the ones I bought, I can't wait to use these in my work. #lymeregis #fossils #ammonite
