The first series of work that evolved from my home at Thirroul was exhibited in 1993 at Black Gallery in Sydney. Curated by Mikala Dwyer the exhibition presented three series of ceramic works made over a period of two years. A large floor installation measuring L4  x  W 4 metres consisting of large, scattered ceramic and wax objects, was the starting point for the series of works the evolved during 1995-2005, and then my ongoing investigations into the resonances of domestic objects and their psychological associations. This work was inspired by metal washing basins, buckets and funnels from the old bathhouse. The hybrid nature of the wall pieces in the exhibition would be used in future work and the wax surfaces would be interpreted using a combination of glazes and firings.
