My ceramic Multicreatures and inkbrush drawings are a call to arms, a complex multiplication of life forms, they express a spirit of determination to bring peace and healing to the world.

In Western Medieval times the monster was often depicted as a hybrid creature. Saints and knights in armour defeated strange dragons and demons, the “other” was clearly identified. Today our ecosystem, and our individual identities are being challenged by Artificial intelligence, conflict, wars, and environmental destruction

Monsters take a completely different form and meaning.

Creating identities by hand, from the conception of an idea, to their final release from the heat of the kiln these creatures are made of earth, chemical and fire, now existing in both the physical world and the digital realm
