Ali throws and turns the pieces to a fine finish. She waits for the pieces to be dry before decorating, preferring to work on the dry, chalky surface. She applies her marks as spontaneously as possible, using stains, oxides and slips, splashing or sponging away areas and inlaying lines, aiming to create pleasingly imperfect and unpredictable marks. She often decorates her pieces on the wheel to create a feeling of movement. “I like the contrast of a static object with a feeling of movement”. Some of her pieces have the impression of landscape paintings that wrap around the pots, never ending and looking slightly different from each angle.
“I’ve always drawn and designed, as far back as I can remember. I love the energy of random lines or marks, from a sketch, painting or found on stones or peeling paint. A simple line or splash can completely change the feeling of a piece.”
