New Ceramics for 2012

In the last few months of 2011 I reintroduced my old printmaking techniques onto clay.
Clay has a memory and every mark is never lost. The metaphorical potency of clay can be powerfully suggestive, it is my perfect medium.
Recently I have been developing ceramic pigments and hand coloured porcelain engobes. Building up layer upon layer and constantly reworking the surface over periods of time thus creating a history of events.
2012 will begin with a new series of sculptures and wall pieces involving these new techniques..........

Bounty Harbourfront

For September I will be creating a new group of ceramic work for Bounty Gallery on Harbourfront Totonto. The focus will mainly include my abstract landscape vessels and cups as well as my new range of abstract remnant bowls and vases. Here is a snippet of what you can find there by the end of September......

Remnants: something left over, a remainder, a surviving trace.

With my first solo show recently finished and a few summer shows out of the way I can now concentrate on the next few months of 2010.
Here is a snippet of the exhibition at Carnegie Gallery. It was a huge success and I would like to thank Carnegie gallery for their help, Ontario Arts Council for exhibition assistance and my friend Douglas Stuart for coming all the way over from Scotland to help me curate the exhibition and set the show up.
