"My inspiration
piece is the 'Posset Pot' made in Fremington, Devon, representing the joyful
commitment of a group to a common cause such as the fertility of the land
at Wassail. It seemed obvious to me to use the commemerative aspect of the
pots to record the Foot and Mouth outbreak. Topical now, this will soon
be history. I feel animal welfare is a common concern so my pieces are dedicated
to our trusting fellow mammals who have been killed wholesale before their
time and the beleaguered farmers, vets, slaughtermen and digger drivers
involved in the macabre processes of destruction."
Only when there are no more animals left, will we realise that we cannot
eat money' (native American prophecy) |
