My work explores two themes, faces and forms, and sometimes combines them together. I consider each piece as an experiment to try something new, to learn, to develop, to discover. I’m exploring different materials, creative processes, tools and techniques and each step takes me further on my journey.

I mostly work with stone but have tried plaster on wire frames and clay modelling. My mantra is “I don’t know what I don’t know so have a go!” Barbara Hepworth’s direct carving approach and principle, “truth to material” has been a guiding force for a lot of what I make where I have aligned the textures and properties of the stone to the idea and its execution.

I've explored a number of ideas through project work such as carving for colour and colour and form and recorded my work at Tre Luci Studios in pietrasanta. The erosion series explore how natural processes have altered natural objects to create abstract forms. This helped me generate my own units of form akin to Arp. In models Ive included some of my clay modelling work.

You can find out more about my creative process and studio space and in carving courses and demos you can see what I've been doing to share my love of stone carving.
