Iron seems to draw a material line through my practice. From my use of iron saturated glazes and iron oxide etching techniques, to my proclivity for discarded metal objects and the iron rich ground on which I live and work. These objects are a moment in a longer process of experimentation and play. A love note to the car graveyards of the Central Desert, where dirt and iron converge, forming sculptural assemblages that obscure the point at which earth ends and metal begins.
