New Work 2010, Wood and Soda Fired

The following images are of new work in the development stage. For the last 2 years I have been experimenting with large moulds. The first body of work from this was " The Hulls" The mould is 1.5 metres in length and just fits lengthwise in my kiln. After firing they are approx 1.15cm. I made a large circular mould by using the same plaster mix as the hull mould. It is a method of mixing paper into the plaster mix. I was introduced to this at the EDGE Conference in Perth WA in 1999 where Trudy Golley from Canada, gave a demonstration. She returned 3 years ago by popular demand and repeated the workshop.
