Profile
I am as retired vet. Intrigued by art, I have been making for several years. I work with both traditional materials such as charcoal, clay, and mild steel, but also unusual ones such as hand-twisted rag rope. I also create a diversity of works varying from portrait sculptures and drawings to stone balances, abstract installations and reliefs.
I am inspired by science, the brain, animal behaviour, curves, ritual, laughter, Andy Goldsworthy, prehistory, materiality, cooking, words, human evolution, medicine, perception, secrets, water, awe, absurdity, natural history, collapse, ecosystems, sculptors, physiology, Brian Eno, the climate crisis, coffee, Magdalena Abakanowicz, sleep, the microbiome, death, butterflies, chaos, Kathleen Jamie, faces, myopia, Chopin
