Tree Nymphs

I've been sooo busy recently. I've just completed a couple of sculptures for ' Go Figure ' exhibition at an Altrincham art gallery. Art With a Heart Regeants rd. They are being exhibited until the beginning of March and can be purchashed and collected at the end of the exhibition.

Here is my artist statement to go with the sculptures:

I am a ceramic artist. I use various types of clays and use a wide range of methods to create one off individual pieces of art. The inspiration for these two sculptures derive from the organic nature of the materials combined with the love of the natural world. My passion for organic forms and the cycles of nature and life have inspired me to create these metamorphic sculptures. I hope to depict how the cycles of life and nature are entwined, compatible and in love with one another. I chose the female form to signify fertility and rebirth as in the natural world.


Tree nymph 1 is created using JAB porcelain with a high fire clear craze glaze. Fired to 1010c biscuit and then 1240c with a 20 min soak.

 Tee Nymph 2 was created using a grogged earhenware clay with velvet underglaze to depict the mossy colours of nature. Fired to 1060c soak 15 mins.
