ARTIST'S STATEMENT
My work as a sculptor has been based on the skills I acquired from my previous occupation as a sheet metal tradesman. I always appreciated the characteristics of metal, particularly its versatility and durability, but as an artist I am able to experiment, explore the boundaries and manipulate metal in a more creative fashion than ever before. The foundation for my art practice has also been enhanced with the completion of a Bachelor of Visual Arts and Applied Design. My practice is divided into three major areas: commissioned works, exhibitions and workshops. While I enjoy the freedom of exhibiting, it is the realm of public art that gives me the greatest satisfaction, allowing my works to be seen by a larger audience and sharing my vision with the whole community. Public pieces created within workshops reinforce this notion even further.
