I made a series of ceramic plates, bowls and saucers. I marked the clay with various road markings- tyre marks, arrows and on the saucers I carved out an actual road journey. I was trying to put the journey onto the symbol of permanence in my life - the kitchen utensils-symbolising the permanent sense of space- trying to make the permanent transient.
