Around Pembrokeshire you will find collieries in various states of dilapidation and preservation. These sites once produced some of the finest coal on the British Isles - it is reputed that Queen Victoria insisted that the coal for all royal residences came from Saundersfoot. Transported by small trains to Saundersfoot Harbour through the coastal tunnels and down ‘Railway Street’ (now called The Strand) past what was once a Chemist Shop, and now my gallery.
“A Study of Coal” is a body of work created in my studio that bears its roots in the industrial past of Pembrokeshire. Like all my work the theme is adapted to create abstract impressions resulting in striking sculptural pieces made from black clay. The full body of work includes Colliery Pots, Coal Pots, Peacock Coal Pots and Bell Pit Bowls.
The piece is initialled on the side.
