These 3 'Seaweed Bowls' were the result of continued and sustained interest in a particular rock pool at The Warren in Folkestone. I visited it daily, taking photographs, observing the flora and fauna . I wanted to recreate the feeling that the pool gave me and to mimic its intensity of depth and colour in enamel. I was drawn to the seaweed and its gentle movement in the intertidal wash and this led me to research the evolution of seaweed. There are over 9000 species in the UK alone and they are a window into the past. They are at least a billion years old and have evolved from photosynthesising blue-green forms with algae to create the many different forms we can see today.Through sifting enamel directly through seaweed onto the bowls i am making a permanent record of its evolutionary journey to date, making the impermanent permanent and marking time past and time present.

A year ago I was asked to illustrate three children’s’ books , two to be used in primary schools with therapy dogs on the theme of rescue racing greyhounds and one on the theme of the butterfly’s life cycle. After completing the latter it occurred to me that the illustrations would be ideal material for translating into enamelled works.

Trained in sculpture I envisaged enamelling three dimensionally and when we were presented with the theme ‘Evolutions’ the life cycle of the butterfly seemed appropriate.

Over recent years my work has evolved considerably. The pandemic and lock down forced me into working in a way that required no out of workshop process. So I explored enamelling processes that I could do "in house". I am still very much inspired by Japanese aesthetics and have enjoyed this new challenge to explore new avenues and techniques.

Lord Vicar Dashwood was destined to take his seat in the House of Lords. He pursued his military career in India but preferred to paint, spending his frequent leave periods in Cornwall and Denmark. His achievements in military administration were suddenly curtailed, he resigned his commission.

A change in career path followed his inclination in religion and interests in art and the natural sciences.

A significant achievement in Lord Vicar Dashwood’s new career was the discovery of an extinct example of the Pandyan Vipera a Caleidoscopio hitherto having been declared extinct.

My work is inspired by Ammonites which were a marine species that evolved throughout the Mesozoic era between 252 and 66 million years ago. Evidence of their existence comes to us through Fossils and the evolution of Ammonites can be traced by their appearance in rocks of different ages. Ammonites are a theme I have been exploring through different techniques in enamel for many years. During that time work has evolved as I explore new ways of working. These pieces are cloisonné on silver using fine gold wire over engraved silver. The silver surrounds are engraved to echo patterns in the rocks that contain them.

Evolution is change over time; what better way to represent the concept than with a clock which changes from hour to hour? This clock is based on my doctoral thesis, "The Quasihyperbolic Metric, Growth, and John Domains", 1996, about how certain functions behave on shapes with cusps. It shows the progression of cusp distortion of a disk, and also represents the evolution of my art which, over time, has become bolder, larger, and more modular.

The whole world is constantly in the process of change and evolution. But perhaps the most exciting evolution for the human mind is the evolution of life. It is still hard to believe that all living beings could come from microorganisms that continue to exist in invisible universes. What are they, other worlds? Those worlds without which we would not have survived, those worlds that can kill us. We never see them and forget they exist. How colorful and strange can this world be up close?

This piece is inspired by an old nearby farm, where I have spent time since childhood. I have been impressed not only with its regular natural cycles and seasonal changes, but also with the development

and growth it has undergone during the time I have known it. It has evolved from a small and struggling place to a larger and quite successful farm that has learned how to cope in an era of encroaching urbanization and economic challenge. Trying to capture the spirit of the land and the feel of the vibrant nature within its boundaries challenged me in my approach and visualization of the project. My initial sketches became increasingly abstract as I prepared to create the champleve enamel panel. As my piece evolved, my appreciation of the place grew and evolved, as well.

Since ancient times, all living things have changed and evolved for a better life. This work expresses the evolution of living things that transcend themselves and reach stars through evolution with the motif of the world tree. There are two world trees in the cup. It has tangled roots like vines, supporting stems, and massive branches with stars that open toward the sky. The bottom of the tree has a variety of colors as a symbol of life.
