Artist statement:

On this Pacific ring of fire, living between ocean tides lapping at our feet and mountains looming over our heads, this is a space that moves and changes with nature’s power.
In this piece Dusk, elemental spirits weave through sky, mountain and ocean, foreshadowing the coming storms, 
volcanic plumes remind us of the making and changing of the ground we stand on.
It’s Beautiful, this power that will take us.

Whangarei

The Diploma in Ceramics based at the Quarry Arts Centre, Whangarei has kicked off for the year. One lesson in and the exploration is already in full swing. A mixture of levels some starting with hand building whilst others are diving into mould making. Exciting.
