'My work is influenced by the urban city environment, by such things as hard, textured surfaces, by street lighting, endless movement and sense of urgency. Colours are those of roads, pavements and building, textures those we encounter in the metropolis. All the work is fired to 1260˚C in an electric kiln.' (Emmanuel Cooper, 2001)
