Good Vibrations
Growing up on a working farm on rural Dartmoor has been the backbone
behind my magnetism towards stone and its permanence within the landscape.
As a sculptor and stonemason back living and working on Dartmoor, the
practise of shaping limestone, marble and granite is an important meditative
process for me. I predominantly make abstract geometric sculpture.
Looking through stone has always been an aspiration, as the core is rarely seen
in a sculpture, and this has become a key subject in my work. Coming from a
background in DJing for many years, listening to music is fundamental to allow
me to access my imagination and become open to express myself through
carving.
Studying geology, music and fine art, with a deep-rooted curiosity in natural
wonders, my work has many links to geometry, and the diversity of natural
forms. Symmetry, balance and fragility are distinct themes in my work, as I
continue to explore and experiment with range of vibrant and varied stone
types. While carving, decisions and actions are constantly evolving while
exploring and pushing the stones possibilities and limits.
My work is best viewed from all directions and presents diverse qualities from
different angles. Allowing the viewer to see how the sculpture appears
connected geometrically. The series, "Good Vibrations" is carved from a cube,
with three interconnecting sides making up the six sides. The form appears fluid
and geometric, with the sculpture changing form as it is walked around and
viewed from different angles. It is positioned on an axis to allow the viewer to
see how the light shines through the stone, creating an everchanging
appearance.
I have had my sculpture selected for exhibitions in London and throughout the
UK, and I undertake private and public commissions.
