My Process
From my collection of metal, accumulated over 30 years, I choose a primary form as the starting point for a sculpture. I then introduce:
shapes | tones | textures
1
Found
I work with each piece in turn, revealing its individuality and beauty by:
cutting | sanding | polishing
A sculpture becomes bigger than the sum of its parts once those parts are welded together. Motifs and forms that I love become signature elements and repeat throughout my work. These include:
spheres | crescents | curves | words
Other materials can be introduced, including:
glass | wood | stone
I combine these influences to create an individual sculpture. To show the client my designs, I can:
draw | make maquettes | 3D model
For commissions and themed work,
I design the primary forms. Inspired
by the client's theme or their environment, I work with:
images | words | objects
2
Designed
These methods allow the client to approve the design before it is made.
Intricate details can be added using:
laser | waterjet | engraving | etching
Historically I would make all my sculptures in my studio in Kent but since relocating to north London, on larger scale works, I now also work with a team of expert affiliates:

Production & Installation
Timeline and delivery for a piece is entirely dependent on the design and the client deadline. Clients can collect or delivery is arranged by agreement.
design | agree | produce | deliver
Installation is also dependent on the design and size of the piece. Some require professional installation. Others can be positioned and secured by the client.
