Urbanesque - 2025

Limerick City Gallery of Art

My work is a continuous exploration of form and colour. I build soft clay slabs into shapes that express the material’s malleability, and contrast that with sharp edges and severe cuts incised into the solid block forms. The surface patina is built up using multiple layers of coloured engobes and dry glaze. Each piece is fired numerous times until the desired depth of surface colour and texture is reached.
As with all my work, these pieces are experimental, each piece a moment in a lifetime of exploration.
