Together with this and the influence of other Japanese Art, I have explored the use of asymmetrical forms using the natural colour of stoneware and porcelain clay, enhanced by stained inlay decoration. Parallel to the development of larger sculptural forms and in contrast, I have used porcelain, producing a limited range of vases in various shades, individually inlayed with linear designs. The shapes are developed to compliment one another, yet are sculptural pieces in their own right, embodying purity of line and elegant simplicity.
