I was so happy to have won an award in the IPCA 2017 competition for my hang Gliding Lizard. This years theme was to boldly go, so I took the theme as thinking about man's first tentative steps into flight and then on, into space. Apply that to a lizard who decides that he can use the leaves, petals and twigs from the ground around him to build his own hang glider to launch into the air, and his own bit of space. Who is to say that his own journey is any less than man's first flight, and so the title I gave him 'One small step....one Giant Leap' seemed fitting.

My second entry was this bowl, entitled Earth Flower Bowl. The thought behind this bowl was that the earth is like a flower held within the universe. It is a precious things and we need to take care of her. The underneath of the bowl is wrapped in orange tentacles, being the sun's rays nourishing the flower and keeping it safe. I won the Emerging Artist category for this bowl in the Functional Container class, and won both the Judges and the Members Choice.
