Sculpture Studio
I make work in my studio on Eel Pie Island for exhibition and for sale. I undertake commissions working on developments from my own work or with a client for specific or special requirements. I also run workshops for sculptors working in wood, metal or plastics.
I have been working as a sculptor since the age of 17 and trained, as a City & Guilds Furniture Maker in my 20s. I rely on the skills and knowledge of craft that my Guild training taught me, though often reject its disciplines for the freedom that sculpture affords the artist. My artistic philosophy is about responsiveness – to materials, to form and to construction; to the natural world and to the nature of human existence. I work in sheet metal, wood, plaster and plastics and I construct, carve and cast.
