About
I have been making sculptures since xx, creating from my workshop in the nearby village of Stonesfield.
Coming from an industrial background, my inspiration is from a wide range of materials that can be found in scrapyards or skips, these all to be engineered or re-used into something new, the random shapes and materials of scavenged items being the catalyst for the sculpture.
I encourage people to have physical contact with my creations in the hope of an enlivening experience through the senses:
Touch – the cool, hard feel of metal
Smell – the aroma of worked metal and finishes
Sound – the resonance from a piece being struck by a hand or an object
Sight – the natural patina of metal ageing and discolouring.
My artistic influences include: Jay DeFeo, Alexander Calder; Antony Gormley & Thomas Heatherwick.
