I saw this Katherine Pleydell-Bouverie bottle - an interpretation, I think, of a Chinese meiping-type vase - and I started to reproduce it to internalise its shape, to give it my own profile.
It is this participation in an uninterrupted flow in time and space that makes me feel alive as a ceramist. And it is precisely the simple, traditional forms that prove to be an excellent tool for knowing and expressing oneself. The coating - created by successive firings of overlapping layers of glaze reproduces an indefinite passage of time.
