My work is a study of nature, evidence of a lifelong obsession with flowers and plants. Exploring the diversity of form and intensity of colour. Also investigating the emotional response and memory triggers brought about by each subject.
I find steel to be the most challenging of materials, aiming to transform an industrial, hard, cold material into something satisfyingly free, fluid and graceful, devoid of straight lines and uniformity. Inspired by the Art Nouveau period.
I use a combination of hot forging techniques (fire, hammer and anvil), and metal fabrication (welding, cutting, grinding), to imitate the shapes from nature behind each of my designs. Work is produced in a variety of scales, from towering statement pieces for the garden, to delicate and elegant small-scale sculpture for the home.
Once the desired shape is made I use specialist paints to achieve vibrant, eye-catching colour finishes, building up layer upon layer. I often contrast this with a visible area of burnished steel so that the texture and beauty of the natural material can shine through, but the eye is drawn to the bold colour pop!
