ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This is Obasan Ancient Fox Lady.She is glazed with the Copper Matte Raku, giving her an even more ancient appearance. I have cut a little walking stick for her which is included. When I lived in Japan one often sees very old people, who must have worked in the fields a lot, and they are very bent over. Well I wanted to make a shape-shifter fox who is very ancient. In Japan there are many folk tales and stories about humans who are actually foxes. Sometimes they are benevolent, but at other times extremely dark and tricky. The firing style in Copper Matte, in which the piece is covered in almost pure Copper oxide, and fired to about 1000 C. When it is removed it is placed on a bed of sand and quickly covered with newspaper, and then covered. Then the cans are "burned" opened again and relit. it is a fascinating firing process.

I am a multi-disciplinary artist based in Sitges, Spain, near to Barcelona. I create paintings, ceramic sculptures and fiber art. I started my art career as a street artist as a teenager. I loved the dynamism of graffiti, the rebellion and expression. I filled my portfolio with pictures of my murals, and got myself into Art School, Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver. Art school introduced me to many new ideas. Although I majored in Sculpure, I found myself leaning towards Paintings, and finally I started experimenting with Installation and Public Intervention. I travelled to India and Thailand. This changed things. I wanted to make political art, or do projects which helped people. Later I moved to the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design where I was introduced to Conceptual Art. I have exhibited in Tokyo, Japan, Toronto and Barcelona. The last few years I have focused on Fiber- Art installations and Raku Ceramic Sculpture. Now after several years hiatus, I am back to making Paintings. I found making abstract paintings very liberating. I love it!
