Artist Statement

The thrust of my work is the expression of ideas through a variety of media, particularly sculpture, drawing and photography. My principal interest is in form and materiality and the interplay of these in three dimensional constructions. Trained as a physicist, I am essentially analytical in my approach but this analysis is suffused with the delight in abstract concepts and a love of colour, texture and form in the world about me. These latter inform the intuitive aspects of my art which I am endeavouring to develop and exploit. The absence of obvious colour in my work does not mean a lack of interest in it, but rather stresses the underlying fascination in it and the delight in finding subtle nuances in the colour of the materials used in the work.
