About The Artist

In the past two decades Moz has explored the geological qualities of his surroundings - His work draws from the fusion of South Asia and South Yorkshire within his multicultural upbringing.

The resulting work is dictated by the natural elements of earth, fire, and water when fired in reduction where presence or absence of oxygen determines the patternation of glaze on surface. The dramatic (and sometimes unexpected) variations allow him to produce a diverse range of work that embodies this natural process.

As a ceramicist, Moz's approach to making is to trust the process, providing a platform to create a hugely varied body of work unconstrained by predictability. His practice ranges from functional to sculptural ceramics and embraces an extensive range of materials and techniques, including throwing, extruding and slab building combined with the use of natural minerals as colourants.
