“The sculpture seems insect- or animal- like, hybridising our understanding of wood and animism. This creature has no recognisable features that we usually associate with living beings but its presence stimulates our desire to understand it as something we know. Again this anomalous quality of sitting outside and between recognition allows us to enjoy its ‘aliveness’.”
– Julian Goddard
My sculptures reflect my non-hierarchical curiosity for materials and processes. They often combine disparate materials including wood, glass, silicon, steel, acrylic, clay, resin and foam and use an array of processes and technologies including 3D modelling, hand-carving, welding, video and photography. I start with a vision for the work informed by snippets from the everyday and readings of philosophy, anthropology and science-fiction, but then allow the materials and processes to shift and inform the making.
