Artist statement
I am always inspired by seeing the presence of man within our 'natural' environment. It is not often the beautiful creations that grab me. I am more interested the rusting hulk of something once quite powerful and controlling or the scar of some redundant industry.
Part of my work is informed by my responses to this presence. By the marks we leave in our landscape or the fading technologies that once controlled it.
It is also part of my language in sculpture to demonstrate an ability to reorder the natural arrangement of materials as I see our ability to reorder nature to our advantage.
In articulating this, most of my work incorporates containment, separation or imposed boundaries and illustrates a level of control over natural materials.'The main aesthetic in most of the work is the continuity of line. This may be represented in the overall shape of the work or in the detail of the imposed structure or impressions I apply to it.'
