I was five years old when I started to shape ceramic cats, based on the images I had of our family pet. Then at fifteen I took up Japanese tea-making ceremony lessons. For the next six years I was crazy about it! The ceramic tea-making instruments delighted me. Their natural, quiet colours, asymmetrical shapes and simple textures reawakened my interest in ceramics and influenced my future work.
I find that the New Zealand taste – vibrant colours and free style - is very different from the Japanese tradition. I want to incorporate both into a unique blend of traditional Japanese and contemporary New Zealand ceramics.
