Whilst searching for a poetic form or image, my work is very much
involved with its own making and the engagement with the chosen
material. The process of making the work is a journey and this is
often present as an image in some form or other in the work. It
is a journey of discovery, of development and of refinement, and
is a metaphor for life. I begin with a tree trunk which has grown
in a particular place, in a particular way, sometimes I create the
sculpture in that place. Wherever the piece is made, the particularities
of the site, the weather, the people I meet, all leave an imprint
on the work in some way. The destination is a meeting point between
my initial intentions, what the timber has allowed me to do, and
where the journey has taken us. It is this process that continues
to fascinate and surprise me.
