I am a self employed artist, and although I work in both 2 and 3D using a variety of mediums, I specialise in three dimensional environmentally aware Sculpture and Design. My main influence is nature - natural forms give me inspiration to create my own patterns and designs, which I express mainly through the making of sculptural furniture and objects ranging from boxes and cabinets to clocks and candlesticks. I try wherever possible to use recycled materials which I find enhanced by the effects the elements have on them.
Wood becomes worn, sculpted, patterned and coloured by the wind, sun, sea and sand.
This is why driftwood is my favourite material to work with. I am trying to express recycling, conservation, and a sense of enjoyment and respect for nature as an educational aspect of my work through interactive workshops and projects.
