I work as a full-time stone Sculptor designing and creating unique forms - inevitably these forms are a sculptural comment on things I see, hear and read - recently it’s been animals under environmental pressure, the body language of people, the microbiome and, tragically, the treatment of Ukraine.
In all my work I express my ideas and concerns through the techniques, craftsmanship and traditions that have developed over millennia using the heft, texture, colour and hardness of British stone…my favourite being the beautifully blue and buff coloured, long lasting English stone - Ancaster Weatherbed with the hardness to make a mirror finish.
By creating forms via this physical, noisy and dusty reductive process I aspire to create beautiful, unique, one-off investments that will last for generations: for this reason I resist making copies or casts of my work in other media - the uniqueness of a stone carved artwork adds to its aura and carries millions of years of history.
As my work has become more well known l find I’m increasingly working on commissions… it’s a nice problem - greatly enhanced by the fact that I get to meet lovely folk with a genuine interest in art and in my efforts… contact me for a discussion .
