Artist’s Statement

 

   My work is predominantly inspired by landscape. I love exploring the rugged cliffs and other geological sites of Britain.   It is there I am able to connect with the play of light on the natural world.   My process begins when I am faced with the   elements and the history of the land – the apparent as well as the unseen forces at work.   The feel of the place   interacts with my imagination.  I am inspired to design and make sculpture that interacts with light.   I use the properties   of transparency, refraction and reflection to create an inner world within an outer form.   The process of making – from   concept to realization – allows for the unexpected to take place.   This can be exciting and often leads to new   discoveries that inform and ensure the work is evolving.   The sculptures are one-off pieces, many in private collections   in the UK and USA.
