I am influenced by archaic Greek sculpture (especially early Cycladic), crumbling medieval statuary and weathered coastal rock formations. Extensive travel enhanced my study of eminent sculptors as well as observe the natural beauty of rock formations all over Europe.Using clay, stone, wood, metal and water I borrow from the Elements: taking oxides from the earth for colour and texture; fire to transmute wood, clay and metal. Wind for movement and water. Sometimes living flora, to enhance or weather the form. I draw from emotive memories and combine them with new experiences that through their fusion create forms, whether abstract or representational that, hopefully, conveys an interactive response between the viewer and the piece of sculpture.
