Taking inspiration from both the natural and manmade environment, I often make marks on my work before the final firing, I am currently using oxides and slips to do this.  Wild, natural elements and their affect on found objects give me a starting point for inspiration. Rusted metal, flaking paint, wood that has been smoothed by the sea, or polished from being touched by human hands over thousands of years. The tattooing of urban environments in the form of graffiti. Stormy skies, shapes of machinery and mechanical parts. Everywhere I look I see elements I want to use somewhere, somehow in my work.
