It may be tiny but this kiln is packed with potential and I am excited to see what it will do. My approach is not that of ceramicist but rather of artist who happens to use extremes of temperature in order to explore and create.
Investigating the physical transformation of materials using kiln, freezer and blow torch places me in direct contact with substance, history, science and great creative possibilities. It enables me to echo, metaphorically, the physical essence of Jo’s scientific research and to examine, in a contemporary way, its connections with both industrial south Wales and the ancient geology of Gower. I reflect evolutionary process and effect chemical change to bring tangibility to the invisible and tensions therein. By merging creativity, geology and chemistry and warmly embracing the occurrence of chance, I give rise to random outcomes which mirror those within the natural world.
