I work without glaze. All the surface textures and colours are achieved at the raw stage. I fire my pieces once only, directly to stoneware temperatures.

Totems

My totems vary in height from 1,40m to nearly 2m. They can be installed indoors or outdoors. The ceramic pebbles are individually shaped, in a variety of stoneware clays. Depending on the effect I'm aiming for, the pebbles are made as a single colour block, or are marbled.

Fragments series

The fragments are ceramic pieces suspended in a steel armature that I weld myself.
