Sculpture exploring evolution and cognitive archaeology.
I use whichever
media is most propitious and, because of its immediacy, this is very often
clay. I am struck by how the DNA of the human race has remained almost constant
during the past 30 thousand years. - how our evolution has happened in our
heads, through our modes of engagement with the world, and so manifests itself
in this world around us. - how we are able to imagine the world other than how
it is, and make it so. - the extent to which we shape the world and are in turn
shaped by what we have made of it. Like a cognitive archaeologist, you can make
an object a map to a particular mode of engagement with the world. My primary
media are clay and glaze. My work is in private collections in Europe, Russia
and the USA
