My art practise is based upon two simple things. Paper and clay. I create and fire paperclay sculptures, and carve compressed paper sculptures. The interest in my work has resulted in a growing number of interstate and international exhibitions, as well as fuelling my appetite to learn more about how the arts and crafts, and society are organised. My ceramic paperclay work is an attempt to illustrate this on-going interest in the organisation of the arts and crafts, and society. I am inspired by architecture and local plants, while trying to suggest the cycles, rigidities and dynamic nature of our society, and myself. My compressed paper sculptures are a by-product of office work, research, everyday correspondence and junk mail. Since 1994 it has been a way to create silence in a world of information overload.
