This wonderful wood has been traditionally used to make boats as it has an amazing ability to withstand water. As with many trees in Britain, it is at risk from our human activity, encroaching on greenbelts, tree clearing for building, our impact on the enviroment gives these incredible trees a fragile strength.
I work with reclaimed and storm fallen timber using an ancient Japanese technique called ‘Yakisugi’. This method preserves the wood – Yaki means to heat with fire, and sugi is cypress. By slightly charring the surface of the wood without combusting the whole piece, the wood becomes waterproof through the carbonisation and is thus more durable. It also protects against insects, as well as making the wood fire retardant. All my work aims to be as sustainable as possible and I will only use natural materials.

Druids believed that oak trees were sacred and directly from heaven. They performed religious rituals under them, climbed them to collect their leaves and fruits to use in medicines, and believed these trees harbored significant healing powers.

The Mere, 2023, 200cm high, storm fallen Chestnut, fire and cold pressed linseed oil. I collected this part of a beautiful tree from The Mere, in Ellesmere that is about a mile from my house. The Mere has many myths and Legends attached to it but I quite like this one: According to Charlotte Burn who recorded many folklore stories throughout Shropshire in the nineteenth century, an old woman named Mrs Ellis had a water pump on her property, she refused to sell or allow any of her neighbours the use of the pump to gather water, thus creating great hardship. One night it is said that the well overflowed and the following morning no sign of the pump or the old woman could be found, all that could be seen was the huge lake named after her Elles-mere.

“We Three Queens of Orient Are,” is a testament to the artist’s vision of creating a sanctuary for peace and serenity amidst the turmoil of the world. The Queens capture the enchanting beauty of the Eurasian Lynx and embody a sense of meditation and tranquillity.
At the centre of the sculpture stands the Queen herself, cast in Foundry Bronze using the Lost Wax Method. This traditional casting technique ensures the intricate details and fine craftsmanship of the sculpture. The central Queen is adorned with solid Bronze Tufts, adding to her regal appearance.
Flanking the central Queen are two other Queens, casting a trio that symbolizes Harmony, Wisdom, and Understanding, as derived from the philosophy of Pythagoras. These two surrounding Queens are cast in Bronze Resin also embellished with solid Bronze Tufts.
The Queens are elegantly displayed on individual marble square plinths, measuring 150mm x 150mm. To create a sense of serenity, when placed outdoors, they are elevated on sleek black 1250mm x 150mm x 150mm plinths arranged in a crescent shape, inviting contemplation and stillness.
The artist’s muse and inspiration for this grand sculpture is Petra, a magnificent 21-year-old Eurasian Lynx residing at the Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent, UK. Her beauty and grace have been captured with astounding accuracy, allowing viewers to connect with the spirit of these incredible creatures whilst acting as a reminder of the importance of protecting and appreciating the natural world.
In experiencing this trio of sculptures, one is enveloped in an atmosphere of peace, serenity, and oneness. The intricate details, the harmonious arrangement, and the symbolic narrative all come together to create a truly remarkable piece of art that transcends boundaries and invites contemplation.

Hyperbolic lll’ 60cm X 60cm X 60cm Kilkenny limestone
Unique hand carved sculpture
‘Hyperbolic lll’ is part of a series exploring Hyperbolic planes. A concept I stumbled upon when i realised that the lobed forms I was making, also existed in the world of mathematicians as an expression of Hyperbolic planes. These describe what happens to parallel lines when they exist in three dimensions…
The beauty of these forms for me is not only the organic free form of the lobes but that the edge is always one continuous line.

‘Hijra’ Is an expression of an organic creature or entity, that is self contained, nourishing of itself. Receptive and penetrating. Both male and female. ‘Hijra’ is a south asian word meaning not male and not female. It is also an islamic word meaning migration, which also appealed to me as the form is so bird like.
