Statement

I moved to Wales from London twelve years ago and live on the edge of the Black Mountains. My work as an environmental sculptor embraces a wide range of materials. Physical materials are very important to me and I am interested in their ability to embody and express ideas such as transformation.

The work relates to landscape whether natural or man made, within or without. There is a recurring interest in circular form, in many disguises, suggesting themes of continuity and connection. The sense of continuity is reflected in the feeling of buried layers in the landscape and the re-cycled patterns of energy from the past.

Water and its varied associations has been a strong theme for some time and currently I am exploring the circle and the square, predominantly in glass.
