“My work is inspired by human evolution, and our very own life cycle. The continuous cutting, which has no beginning and no end, reflects our own life pattern, where by our basic make up is inherited and passed on through generations. Our own individual traits can be recognised generations apart, and these are reflected in my sculptures.
Over the years the work has evolved, encapsulating our own essence and individuality. I day dream in images, and then refine them in my head before ‘going to the wheels’.
These visions are stimulated by my observations on, natural symmetry, sensuality, femininity, masculinity, fertility and the conception of life. The simple but heavy forms are like a blank canvas on which the carving can be used to maximum effect, creating optical mystery and thought provoking visions.
Each piece is unique and yet they are all connected.”
