I work in a variety of media, oils and acrylics, metal, plaster and concrete. However, the found object is a recurring theme throughout my sculptures and mixed media work. Consequently, as the materials I use are so varied, my work takes many forms: From assemblages for hanging on walls to constructing robot like figures from surgical instruments. Whether it is; a surgical instrument, farm implement, part of train or car engine, the item keeps some of it’s original connotation but also takes on a new meaning. I like to think my artwork is environmentally friendly as in many cases the completed sculpture reflects what we throw away or dump. It is also exciting, as depending on what source or find I never really know what my next sculpture will be. I like to live with objects for a while, get to know them, until ideas form.
