As a stone sculptor, my work concentrates on natural, organic forms and the composition and texture of the stone I am working. A sense of place and a concern for the natural environment informs my practice, with inspiration drawn from the trees, hedgerows, stone walls, bogs and the landscape of the Blackstairs Mountains and also my garden. It is the “irregularity of nature”, the biodiversity and the small generally unseen things that interests me. I explore the sculptural form and shape of the things I find, but also their divisions, segmentation, ridges, lobes, patterns and textures in relation to their feel and interaction with light. I have always been fascinated by the physical landscape and this led to a career previously as an Engineering Geologist. This understanding of the geological processes and a feel for the material of stone has led to my desire to sculpt stone.
