"I was taught by the last generation of Modernist and Minimalist artists who instilled in me the respect for the power of form and the importance of precise detail, craft skills and clarity/simplicity. In addition my art education coincided with the Punk and Post-Modern revolution and I was also lucky enough to be taught by Edward Allington who showed me that art could also be ironic, witty, subversive and just plain fun.
Although many of my pieces are made of metal, I have also used media ranging from stone to feathers, plastic to bronze, glass to concrete, rope to money.
I am a sculptor who likes to explore and seeks to juxtapose contrasting features: geometry and organic form, sensuousness and aggression, metaphor and symbolism, human and gravitas - such deliberately ambigious work aims to stimulate many imaginative references".
