Sculpture
The use of Corten steel and hardwood timbers are important to me in that both materials are found in everyday life but contrary to the throw away mind-set of today these will last 25 years plus.
Corten steel has its own unique aged finish [patina] both in texture and colour. Timber likewise.
Within each art piece are concepts which come from both nature and man-made structures. It is quite surprising just how powerful some of these are! Often these have a strong emotional pull hence attracting the viewer to any particular piece. Such pieces placed in your garden, or somewhere around your home, where they are viewed often leads to a peaceful recognition of significant drivers in life's journey
