This ceramic series highlights the raw beauty of burlwood. Through the use of other natural materials this series connects to my love of the outdoors and the depth of inspiration that comes from the natural world. Each piece is uniquely shaped by the wood's organic character, guiding the creation of the pieces in response to the woods characteristics.
This collection holds a special significance, deeply influenced by my partner's grandfather, Robert Scofield.
Retired Art Educator and an accomplished sculptor, Robert works extensively with burls. Many of these burls were gifts from him, with his encouragement to integrate them into my work. Robert's enduring passion for creating, continuing into his 80s and has had profoundly shaped my approach to making.
