SCULPTOR

The impetus for my work lies in 'Design and Build'. This creative process encompasses sculptural, architectural and engineering concepts.

My interests lie in developing, designing and producing sculpture which proves to be both dynamic and entertaining and ranges from civic bronzes to fabricated metal abstract structures.

Previous work includes figurative large scale sculptures for both civic commissions and exhibition purposes as well as architectural projects from the design stage to the development and implementation of the final product.

Present and future projects include my ongoing ‘Pop Art’ series which often involve social comment sometimes mixed with humour, proving provocative in their genre and therein evoking a narrative particular to the individual.

Currently I am working on several sculptural/architectural designs based around the sphere, utilising lightweight sustainable/renewable materials.
