In recent years, in undertaking a series of commissions,
I have worked with a range of materials including metal,
stained glass, ceramics and bronze I have also employed
the processes of both laser and plasma cutting. Whilst
each of these processes offers opportunities that are unique
and challenging I am always pleased to return to working with stone.
Stone with its reductive process affords me the opportunity
to have a close sensitive relationship with the material.
The correlation between process and idea always feels closer
when I am working with stone.
Whilst the material from the outset may appear hard, the
subtle modulation of form that is achievable, when working
with stone, allows me to extend and develop a range of idea
s that I find difficult to achieve in other materials. For me ston
e is the most sympathetic material for me to project and
develop an idea.
The physical requirements of releasing the sculpture from
the raw block of stone allied to the cerebral process offers
me the most rewarding and challenging means to explore
and produce sculpture.
More recently I have retuned to direct carving and in particular
with marble, some examples being available on this web site.
Much of my work responds to my interest in movement and the
physical and emotional aspects represented within the human form.
Work is represented in a number of private and public collections
in the UK, Sweden, Israel and North America.
