Artist Statement
Living and working on an organic medieval farm has a profound influence on my work - the ebbing and flowing of the generations is a theme that particularly pre-occupies my work. There are bronze age, iron age and Roman settlements surrounding us - a humbling reminder that we are merely the current curators of the land and it is this that has inspired and influenced my creativity for the past thirty years. My work is inspired by objects and shapes I come across in my rural environment, reduced to abstracted sculptural forms that have a birdlike or botanical essence.
