My interest in sculpture started on a small scale, in the area of jewellery and silversmithing. Very much from the start was I fascinated with both geometric structures and organic designs akin to the 'Art Nouveau' style.
Eventually I found illustrations that combined the organic with the geometric; renderings of fluid, dynamic wave forms that followed simple laws of motion, or their mathematical simulation. This sparked off research into the creation of dynamic surfaces in sheet metal, in connection with mathematical approaches capable of generating the underlying principles.
More recently I have started to take those ideas to a scale suitable for public spaces, where they have a stronger physical presence. What I seek is a tangible sensation of a tensile force field giving rise to contraction, expansion and transformation.
I wouldn't say that the mathematical language is central to my work and ideas, but it has been a useful tool for understanding, applying and sharing some of the mystery surrounding us. While I follow a need to manifest this in solid form, my favourite language is still music and sound.
I currently live and work near Machynlleth, Mid Wales.
