Drag to set position!
I am a London based artist who originated from Shropshire. Before I moved to the capital in 1999 I had been a technical illustrator for a Japanese company, a magazine illustrator for several publications, studied printmaking at Bourneville and then took up sculpting during my time studying fine art at Northampton University.
Since moving to London I have become an active member of, and exhibited with, art groups such as The London Biennale, ndn, FOAD and FAD. After moving around London for the first few years I finally settled in the East End and now have a live/work studio space in Bethnal Green. In November 2005 I was awarded a bursary from the Royal British Society of Sculptors (RBS) and exhibited in the Bursary Show at their gallery in South Kensington.
The majority of my sculptural work involves the reworking and assemblage of found objects/materials. Materials that I feel have a certain ‘resonance’. Much of my work centres on the theme of memory or its fallibility. This is more strongly evident in my pieces that incorporate or recreate childhood artefacts and toys. Another re-occurring theme or motif in my work is that of the wheeled box or tower, which represents containment, the urge to possess and limited mobility.
