About me

I have over 20 years of experience and success in the creation of high quality artwork designed to withstand the rigours of the public space. Works have been in 3 dimensions, as well as ground and wall based relief. Over the years I have made new works for town centres, community gardens, public recreation grounds, local authority buildings, housing association developments as well as libraries, hospitals and health centres.

Hollowing Out

Once completed the pieces need to be hollowed out prior to casting.
Pins are used as a guide to define the thickness of the piece. This needs to be approximately 25mm all over.
There is no quick way to do the hollowing... believe me I've tried everything.



Nearly there!!

Patterns almost ready for the foundry

The polystyrene patterns for 'Stepping Stones' are almost complete. Following a studio visit from our Milton Keynes Council clients we will now put the finishing touches to the three pieces and deliver them to the foundry for casting in the next fortnight.
