I make through my ‘translators’. At first these were Lucie Gledhill and Anna Wales; now they are Rachel Jones, Carola Solcia and Laura Ngyou. They have become my hands as my own don't work any more. I ask for a sense of a hand behind the work rather than striving for mechanical perfection. This is a hard line to tread; the work must never look badly made but be confident and intended.
The work is made from a variety of elements, often small shapes which on their own don't mean much but when clustered together become interesting. We have developed a language, a shorthand, to describe the different shapes that we use: shingle, weeds, etc.
Patina is very important as well and not something you can plan too carefully for, but there is great satisfaction when something brilliant and untoward happens. I am always aware of the organic nature of what we do, applauding the natural world that constantly does it better.
