“I am now retired from working on large public art projects, often involving schools and other community groups, due to age and mobility problems, but I still enjoy creating smaller work, using alternative and found materials; pebbles, crockery, mirror, combined with the more conventional glass and ceramic.
'Sail Away' is a counter to all the horrific news of this past year."
