"My work follows a tradition of sculptural object making where craftsmanship and hand finishing remain important. I use a range of media including bronze, Cor-ten steel, oak and mosaic. A range of techniques are also employed in the production of my art. I am interested in the repeated forms found within diverse natural elements, linking the microscopic with the monumental. I often use mathematics in the construction and planning of my forms. I do not seek to copy nature, rather to absorb, filter and create something new from the things I have seen and the experiences I have had. I like to be playful in my work and am drawn to quirkiness. I find the processes of conception, growth, flux and evolution endlessly fascinating and seek to capture something of the wonder and power of nature in my artwork."
