Artist Statement
I seek to produce physical interpretation of a brief and transitory fragment in time. With an internal energy pulsing through the complex constructions, these sculptures evade a single analysis.
Artist Biography
With a career spanning over thirty years, I have an extensive international CV including prestigious juried exhibitions. I was elected to the Royal Society of Sculptors in 2000, The Free Painters and Sculptors in 2014 and The London Group in 2018. I studied sculpture at Wimbledon School of Art under Katherine Gilli, Robin Greenwood and Glyn Williams and then the Advanced course at St Martins School of Art under Tim Scott and Alan Gouk. I have been awarded several important fellowships in Japan and the USA and in 2016 was awarded the Brian Mercer Fellowship spending 3 months in the Mariani Bronze Foundry in Italy. I have public work in the Caribbean, Europe and the USA. Juried exhibitions include the ING Discerning Eye, Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Royal Society of Sculptors Summer Exhibition, Creekside Open, Cork Street Open, Wells Contemporary and the London Group Open.
