Artist Statement

I make sculpture from steel. Compositions of elements, hand cut using the blow torch, are joined up with the aid of the electric welder.

Nature’s rhythms are complicit in the organization of the aggregations and as the work finds its space and physical structure, the poetic dimension is invoked.
