About

For over 40 years my work has been exhibited and collected in Britain, Europe, USA and Japan.

I have long been intrigued in the relationship between man and the natural world. My sculptures are strong abstract forms that reflect qualities of being: such as chaos and order; holding and letting go; stillness and dynamism. The works also represent my lived experience, such as the space between moments of time, listening to sounds of wind, water and silence; walking through landscape; touching rocks, moss twigs and seed heads.

I seek to make sculpture that stands as if poised in space, inviting you to reach out and touch. The sculptures ask you to contemplate space, form, light, shadow; stillness and dynamism, silence, poise. They ask you to find within them both personal meaning and a sense of unity beyond yourself.

Being brought up in a household dedicated to modern sculpture and architecture; my childhood was infused with awareness of form and space. I studied Geography/Geology at Sheffield University, later at Harrow School of Art as a studio potter. A year spent studying in the Middle East and India made a deep impression on my approach to work and after returning to England in 1985 I established my first workshop in London. By 1989, in search of la life closer to nature, I returned to Sheffield from where I continue to work.

To find out more about my inspiration and processes please listen to the audio interview or read articles - on the right hand side of this page.

I lectured at Derby University for 5 years, and have been visiting lecturer in many colleges; running master classes and workshops throughout Britain and Europe.
