About

"Inevitably I had to get to a point where I could shape metal in its fluid state. The journey into the world of casting metal illuminates the significance of this human achievement and the impact it had on our evolution. To melt metal and pour it into a mould, apart from being incredibly dangerous, is nothing short of alchemy and I'm sure our ancestors would have felt the same.

My work takes many forms and is often inspired by what’s around me. From beautiful functional design to contemporary statement pieces. I work predominantly in metal and wood. Carving, casting and shaping using traditional and modern methods, exploring and often discovering new or forgotten skills along the way. I’m a an artist that enjoys the production element and I see it as a fundamental part of the creative process."
