My recent work has become concentrated on love and Mathematical structure , refining the surface and form further to create beautiful pieces often from discarded materials that yearn to be caressed. The main focus of my current work seems to have become opportunities to combine my carpentry/craft skills with contemporary interventions. I am also concerned with the waste culture that we currently live in and source my materials from diseased or fallen trees which I process myself with a small saw mill and occasionally use the odd bit of industrial waste to create assemblages. I have also begun to get to grips with stone carving having recently attended a course tutored by Peter Randall-Page and Simon Thomas who have helped demystify the stone carving process for me and shown the correct application of tools , I would like the opportunity to pursue this further in public art situations where the general public are able to provide input and benefit directly from the process and the work produced.
My work ranges from architectural structures, with traditional materials and techniques, to purely sculptural form and furniture designed with CAD technologies. I now integrate the craft process and the contemporary areas of my work into large scale projects that may be interpreted in a variety of ways from functional structures to purely aesthetic features allowing the viewer to be involved by actively interacting with the artwork or as with some cases the work has integrated with its surroundings so much that it is not at first noticed. My smaller work seems to be more concerned with form, texture and light alongside emotional concepts of love, interdependence and protection, as I feel an early function of art was to convey these and other concepts through the use of totems and idols, which collective and personal ideas and feelings about the world and each other can be expressed.
