| About the Artist | |
I am a primarily a sculptor / installation based artist with a strong conceptual basis to my work. My work is often large scale, site specific work of a temporary nature and usually made of a large number of individual elements, but I also produce discreate sculptures and wall based based constructions. I graduated from Middlesex University in 1998, am a member of Slowfall Projects and a member of the Devon Artist Network. |
