Artist Statement:
Hi and thank you for viewing
my item, I'm glad to have the
opportunity to introduce my
work and in particular the
innovative style of vase I
have designed.
I've been working in stone for
the last ten years, I use a
variety of different colored
slate and quartzite and add
gemstones and crystals.
I call these materials "The
Earth's new palette". Not that
they are new ofcourse, but
their easy availability
certainly is. So many
countries are exploiting their
sub-surface wealth that the
variety of colored stone and
minerals is truly astounding.

I like to exploit fissures and
fractures and leave them
visible to provide a natural,
rugged look to the piece.
This type of natural stone is
a generous medium for an
artist because it provides
constant variety and
direction. No two pieces of
stone are exactly alike,
either in appearance or in how
they react to the hammer and
chisel.
The key to working it is
flexibility. You have to have
clear intentions but be
prepared to accept something
different when it presents
itself. The result is always a
truly unique item that cannot
be replicated!

I have sold thousands of my
vases ...
