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.

Bilston piece delivered to studio

 CIMG5996

Horrible wet and windy today, just the sort of day you want to be manoeuvring heavy objects off a vehicle into the yard. Needs must though and we now have all our current projects back at the studio.

The Bilston pieces were delivered at lunch time today.

The work now needs cleaning and oxidising. This will take a few weeks to complete then it will be ready for siting.

After an initial cleaning some fantastic colours begin to appear on the surface of the metal. The Corten will eventually oxidise to a rich red brown colour.
