Point to a thumbnail in the gallery to display larger images. Sculpture cast in bronze and iron, some of the figures such as ‘Walking’ are articulated. In this and some other figures I was interested in the contact of the figures with the ground, how they stand and walk and I wanted to achieve a sense of poise and the possession of an inner world.

I think of decoration and ornament not as an extra but as integral to the expression of any culture, and the medium through which I express myself. I hope to make something beautiful, that is, something perfectly complete. Objects that have something of myself in them but which will take on an independent life, arresting time and connecting with others.

Point to a thumbnail in the gallery to display larger images. The processes of etching, aquatint and woodcut have much in common with silversmithing processes but I am fascinated by the illusions and ambiguities possible in the self contained and 2 dimensional world of a print. Three dimensional objects have to take their place amongst other objects in unanticipated environments whilst the borders of a print are just that ‘borders’ to another world.

Point to a thumbnail in the gallery to display larger images. Woven collar and fused Earrings. Pins and Earrings in Silver. I am fascinated by the qualities and possibilities of silver which is a wonderfully responsive metal capable of extraordinary versatility. Showing at Electrum Gallery, working for Louis Osman and visiting New York to exhibit 'jewellery' with Robert Lee Morris at 'Artwear', all made a big impression on me.
