I have worked with clay for the past 20 years with the aim of conveying a sense of movement and energy. This has been based on a belief that energy passes through all things, both animate and inanimate; This imagined energy offers much in terms of potential form.

Recently I have begun working with Corten steel and mild steel which has a vast array of new challenges and delights. It enables me to work on a larger scale, giving more strength and presence to the form. I have been trialling both the natural oxidising of the steel as well as painting/sealing the forms. To date the pieces have been wall hung, mounted on plinths or free standing.

I hope that the viewer's eye will flow around a piece with little sense of beginning, ending, or interruption.
