Artist statement
Concepts
Large scale work is always sculptural and figurative. Mostly made to commission. Public artwork is often begun with community input prior to design stage, and often includes bespoke architectural metal work, such as gates, benches, paving inlays. Recently Hilary has developed a range of jewelry and small items for domestic use or decoration.
