A selection of sculptures.
Art is about opportunities, a chance to explore materials and techniques, awarenesses and illusions, with the hope that out of this will come something that is meaningful to others, that they can use in their own lives. It's a continually fascinating succession of paradoxes.
I have always loved carving as a way of making shapes, because it is slow, uses nice tools, and allows the gradual discovery of possible illusions. All my sculpture is in some way figurative.
I like combining various materials, which usually involves finding new methods and processes, and one thing continually leads to another.
Some recent sculptures hang on the wall, maybe because people don't have pianos to stand them on any more, maybe because this is similar to my jewellery which is one sided, and also because it plays with people's expectations for sculpture: often they want to touch sculptures even though I don't touch them when making them except with the tools. Rather I make them by visual reference, by how the light and shade is helping the illusion to emerge. You don't touch paintings after all.
Some of these are still available.
