I have been woodcarving since the hurricane of 1987 tore through Sussex, leaving unwanted timber on the streets of Brighton. In carving, it is good to feel part of a tradition that spans the centruries and cultures.There is life already present in the wood, a sense of reverence and endurance. I enjoyb the challenge of large scale sculpture, and work primarily inn oak, our hardest native wood, carving almost entirely by hand.
My work is figurative, the images often metaphorical. In recent years I have worked on large scale public commissions. Involving research into local history, the sculptures stand like silent storytellers in the landscape. The nature of the wood itself is often significant to the final form. I hope people find them relevant to their own experiences of life.
