'By enlarging the cylinder the details and colours become more apparent. The busyness of the structure in different clays removes the attention from the form to the surface. Simplification to one colour and clay enlarges the presence of these barrel shapes. The basic shapes through their size and simplicity form tensions between each other, their surfaces (in and out), the thinness of the walls and the person viewing and walking between these objects'.

[Qualia (singular:quale) ‘These are the subjective qualities of any sensory experience, such as the smell of coffee or the blueness of a blue sky. Qualia are often defined in philosophy as being intrinsic properties of experiences (they don’t change in relation to each other or anything else). They are sometimes assumed to be private, and ineffable (impossible to communicate to other people).’]
