As an artist I create my work under the name DzR.

I began my interest in art using photography as my medium, firstly using 35mm, then a DSLR camera, concentrated on photo-shoots with female form as my subject matter and also taking photographs of the natural world in parks and the countryside.



My first 3D pieces were relief works in casting plaster, and this allowed me to gain an understanding of how the 3D world worked.










As I mentioned above, I carried out many photo-shoots with the female body as my subject and I wanted to see if I could create sculptures of the female form too.

Initially using plaster as my medium, I made a series of 8 life size torsos using individual female models.










Then discovering clay for the first time, I created a limited run of fantasy helmet sculptures that allowed me my first experiences with glazing, and all the heartache that can entail, as often the final result can be very different from what was expected.

From here I began to create the figurative sculptures shown on these pages







The pieces shown on these pages are part of my continuing experiments with fired clay and a variety of glazes and glazing techniques.

I create limited edition sculptures, usually no more than 12 of any sculpture, with every piece being unique and individual due to the glazing and final finish ensuring no two are the same.

I am happy to carry out personal commissions for sculpture of yourself and these can be one off's or if you allow can be used to make a new limited edition.
