In these photographs I have created various ways of

using shadows to enhance the forms. In the "Shadow

Line" series the shadow that is created from the carved

line is fundamental for the effect of the finished piece

that I wanted.

The "bird Shadow" forms create a shadow of

a bird on the projected wall behind.

I have chosen to use a bare porcelain surface to

enhance the purity of both form and material. The creamy white of the porcelain also allows for the shadows inside and

outside the form to stand out. The shadows around the piece are

as important as the piece itself, as it frames the work and adds to the overall composition of

the form.
