My sculptures are usually based on landscape themes. They often combine real and artificial elements to emphasise a narrative, and the scale of an individual part is related to its priority within the work. Many pieces of work are initiated by observation of weather patterns and their influence on the landscape. Other works are prompted by stories read or heard which, for whatever reason and no matter how trivial, catch my attention. As these sculptures progress, I respond to their needs until they feel right and there is some sense of order to their form. I am aware that my means of working and subject matter are idiosyncratic and outwith the main stream concerns of present day sculptural practise. But this is what I do.
