I think of myself as a sculptor though much of my work is framed and behind glass. Even when drawing I consider that I am building.

After graduating with an MA in sculpture from Chelsea College of Art, I continued to work in London as an artist and college lecturer. During this period my experience as an architectural model maker profoundly affected my approach to making sculpture in terms of scale and materials.

Ideas for my sculptural pieces start from drawings on graph paper drawn free hand to facilitate the speed of recording as one idea leads to another.

Three dimensional structures originating from these drawings often in turn become the subject of the drawing itself. Occasionally for me these diagrammatic drawings acquire a presence of their own, evoking a strong emotional response and I have found that enlarging their silhouette to a scale that mirrors the viewer enhances that effect.
