Description
Founder of Margaret River Pottery, Ian is known for intricately designed functional pots, decorative pieces and large-scale sculptures featuring patterns that reflect local landscapes.
His creations range from intricate porcelain teacups to monumental public artworks across Australia. After almost fifty years working with ceramics, Ian's techniques have evolved to emphasize rhythmic surfaces and sustainability by using local materials and high-temperature wood firing.
Patterns drive Ian's ceramics. He works toward developing rhythmic surfaces. This applies whether he’s making a small porcelain teacup, larger sculptural single forms or an arrangement of several thousand pieces.
Ian’s experience in arranging multiple modular pieces for public art commissions has influenced the way these individual sculptural forms have evolved. The work has become more visually complex with interacting patterns on the surfaces of symbolic forms.
