He describes himself as an 'artist-potter', which aptly refers to his interest in painted imagery as well as form and function. His work is rich in references to the decorative arts and literary and art historical sources. His plates, bowls, vases, plaques and figurative pieces are idiosyncratically decorated with witty - and sometimes poignant - line drawings and script. His imagery ranges from penises to Madonnas, cats to angels, and his quotes are drawn from poetry and the daily press as well as his observations of the world around him. His work has been the subject of various survey exhibitions, including \u003ci\u003eThings Made Over Time\u003c\/i\u003e at Stevenson, Cape Town (2024); \u003ci\u003eThis plate is what I have to say\u003c\/i\u003e at Charleston, East Sussex, UK (2023); \u003ci\u003eHylton Nel at 80\u003c\/i\u003e, The Fine Art Society, London, UK (2021).
