Elaine graduated from
Exeter College of Art & Design in 1985, where she studied animals via
livestock markets and the abattoir, using the media of photography and
drawing to record the structure of the carcass.
In 1986, she set up a studio and continued the
study of agricultural animals. Each animal is individually made by the
process of slab building in clay, i.e. rolling out a sheet of clay and
forming the body, then gradually adding slab by slab to form the whole
animal. The details are then remodeled until the animal is complete.
It is then biscuit fired, glazed and refired to stoneware.
