Boulders | Cafe | Dog in Brush | I've told you once... | Large Tin Work | Raft | The Overcoat | Small Installations with Figures | Early Works
I have always made things. Finding materials and inventing methods to create sculptures. I use found objects, discarded materials, sheet metals -specifically tin cans and ceramic. Inspiration comes from observing around me, keeping a note book with me to record people, places, animals, atmospheres, scenarios and narratives. Sometimes ideas hang around and only come through into the work at a different time. Humour features and can occur when I might not expect. With these smaller works and installations my aim , increasingly is to create them closely to or at the same time as an idea. In fact to be influenced by the physical making to find new paths and ideas. Alongside these smaller works I produce larger sculptures in bronze, cast iron, plaster polymers and copper for site specific public spaces.
