The word “Sanctum” means a sacred or private place.
A ceramic and copper figure with verdigris that symbolises a protective space for reflection and retreat, either physically or emotionally….. a sanctuary.

Ancient ferns have been steeped in folklore and myths for centuries from Celtic shamanism carrying dried ferns for good luck, to beliefs that it is able to ward off witches and evil spirits and give protection. Due to the fern not producing a seed or flower this has lead to confusion as they seemed to spring up by magic.
One such folklore that captivated and inspired me was that the fern would only flower once a year exactly at the stroke of midnight on the summer solstice.

Ivy has been used in Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Pagan and Christian symbolism and mythology since ancient times. It has historically been presented to brides and grooms as a symbol of everlasting life, devotion, fidelity and loyalty and also believed to have magical powers and provide protection, healing and good luck, guarding against negativity and trauma. Druids believe ivy represents peace with its ability to bind different plants together.
But I leave this sculpture open to the viewer’s own interpretation…

A small sculpture that grew from the need for a safe and quiet emotional space for retreat and reflection in a very noisy and fractious world. I use rabbits sometimes in sculptural works, partially as I have them as companions, and also they are usually extremely quiet animals so seemed appropriate for the essence of this work.

For the last 7 years birds have been my primary focus of study. I only like to sculpt wild animals, because there is something to be discovered about them and share with others. Birds are the only wild animal I encounter on a daily basis. As someone who spent hours making ‘stop-frame’ animation videos growing up, movement fascinates me. When sculpting I have a hunger to understand how they move. For example, the legs are particularly interesting to me, because if done correctly they bring life and agency. If not, it can look awkward of dead. That is why I study countless photos and videos to make sure I’m understanding them right. Images of skeletons can be particularly useful to this end.
Another reason I love birds so much is because they occupy another realm to our own. They do things other worldly to us. Their behaviour is so dynamic and entertaining to watch, as they fly, perch on vertical surfaces and balance on the thinnest of stems. They offer endless possibilities.
I am currently working my way through a series of iconic birds, ones that are instantly recognisable to us that we can all know and love. One I have chosen to focus on this year is the long-tailed tit. Like a ‘caricature artist’ I really want to identify the main features. As I don’t work in colour the shape is really important to me and there are lots of fun details I can capture in the long-tailed tit. Being a sociable bird, I have begun to explore different ways I can group them. That is why I have created the ‘roosting’ scene.
