Tor Sculpture

Decorated with Iron, black and yellow slip, with finger spots and a sgraffito design. It is one of a set of six, all of which represent my love of Dartmoor National Park, it's rugged beauty and its wild landscape and weather. This mysterious place attracts allot of rain, and more often than not, if it is not raining it can be covered in thick mist and blanket fog, giving this ancient place a quite mysterious feeling. Covered in streams and rivers, winding between the hills and tor's, always full flowing and supporting so much nature, water and the dampness is part of what makes Dartmoor so special and inspired this work. I work in earthenware clay and use an old, 1950's treadle wheel to loosely throw my work on. I decorate my pieces with clay slips coloured with oxides and my designs are expressed by using sgraffito as a method and often painted, again with coloured clay slips. Much of what I use is found in the landscape around me, it helps me feel closer to the work I am making, and for me gives it more meaning. I have always been close to the land and nature and the use of simple designs of a more abstract and expressionist nature give me the freedom to depict in simple terms how I feel.
