I’m interested in the transformative process of sculpture; the shift that takes place during the making , when one thing becomes another, suggested by its inherent material qualities or form.
I often use reclaimed or found elements in my work, using the most derelict sheets of plywood I can find.
This can provide a starting point, as the patina can indicate a direction, and the more useless it appears for its original purpose the more it promotes the desire for its reclamation as a material.
I try to avoid any final expectation of what I’m making, and do my best to allow the surface I’m working on to evolve, encouraging accident while attempting to keep its evolvement in rhythm with its manufacture.
I use both found and original parts for each piece, in all shapes, colours and sizes discarding most of them until the work comes together.
The discarded pieces very often become the new found parts for further pieces.
