About the Artist

My serious scientific side is expressed in my portraiture, attempting to capture the character as well at the form of my subjects. The lighter, more humorous side emerges in the caricature forms, though the universality of body language means that although the forms may be comic they resonate as instantly recognisable and I occasionally use a similar style to explore more complex social and political subjects. My strongest influences are Rodin, Giacometti and Frink, though I have recently become very interested in classical and middle eastern bas-relief, especially ancient Persian.

'W.A.G.' or 'Man-Made'

2008

Simply a response to a suggested title of 'Man-made' the W.A.G. is all bling, completely artificial and deeply vulnerable inside her armour...

'Long Shot'

2008
60x20x20

Originally inspired by a friends father - a very keen sportsman - the comic effect of the blind as a bat hunter appealed...

'Another Chaser'

2008
65x20x20

'Another Chaser'
Hunter - in Beaufort blue - following up his sport with some refreshment...

'Prunella - The Gardener'

2008

'Prunella - The Gardener'
Grandma out and about in the garden, a dash too enthusiastic with the secateurs...

'The Forward's Greeting'

50x40x50

Prop forward finally gets to introduce himself to the center... been there...

Waiting Room

2009
Unglazed terracotta
75w x 45h x 35d

This is how our rulers, those who drone on about the ‘ordinary person’ see us, as numbers, as interchangeable units of ‘society’, to be given what they allow us. I believe that we are NOT numbers, we are all individuals... and so are these old dears. All of them have some small, politically incorrect, difference and vanities and none of the apparently interchangeable blocks of the waiting room bench can be swapped into different order.
