The Great Distraction is a series of contemporary figurative sculptures exploring the tension between human attention and the natural world. The works take the form of hybrid human-animal figures—Minotaurs, ram-like beings, and other mythic forms—rendered in textured ceramic surfaces that evoke earth, erosion, and natural formation.
These figures reference ancient archetypes that were once revered or feared—beings associated with power, instinct, and the forces of nature. They stand grounded and physically present, their forms suggesting strength, weight, and permanence.
Yet within the works, that power appears redirected. The figures turn inward or away, their attention disengaged from the world around them. Rather than embodying dominance or presence, they suggest a quiet relinquishing—an unspoken transfer of agency away from the body and into something unseen.
This contrast lies at the core of the series. The figures remain connected to nature in form, yet disconnected in awareness. What were once godlike embodiments of natural force now appear diminished, not through loss of strength, but through a shift in attention.
The Great Distraction reflects on this condition: a state in which presence is fractured, and power is no longer held within the self, but deferred elsewhere.

A large figurative piece of a man errupting in joy and laugher, enjoying the warm presence of the summer months.

Base – mounted on integral base with threaded hole in the underside.
“That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet,” wrote Shakespeare — here, the scent is imagined rather than real, inviting memory and feeling to take hold. A poised female figure lifts a rose in a moment suspended between performance and private reverie, capturing the quiet poetry of gesture.
Cast in bronze resin and reinforced with fibreglass, the sculpture balances strength with lightness. Textured Irish linen, a bodice inspired by a vintage opera glove, and delicate brocante motifs create a piece rich in narrative — a timeless, emotive work designed to bring warmth and wonder to both garden and interior settings.
