                I have been decorating my ceramic work, thrown forms, bowls, cylinders, pod vases and tall footed forms, with sharp direct images inspired by Scrimshaw work on whale teeth seen at
                Akaroa. I have been painting black and white Scrimshaw bowls and vases depicting New Zealand scenes with the Central Plateau, East Coast and Northland wrapped around the forms.
                I have also developed a series in ceramic and oil paintings based on Native Bird/Wyatt Earp characters and their adversaries cats and stoats, armed and dangerous, as characters from
                some epic story. I am continuing with my Happy Robot series on cups and plates. The colours and electric firing I am now using make the colours brighter and new.  Always inspired by
                the designs of René Lalique and the forms of Keith Murray, many new forms are on the way, time, tide and firing willing.
