As a full-time stone sculptor, Martin’s work uses and celebrates the techniques and traditions that have developed over millennia using the medium of British stone: for him the personal process from idea, design, stone selection and shaping the form by sawing, chiselling, grinding and polishing is fundamental to the creation of a unique art work.
By creating forms via this reductive process he aims to offer contemporary comments that challenge thinking whilst still celebrating a stone’s heritage, heft, stability and longevity.

Whilst most of Martin’s artwork is now commissioned by private collectors he continues to produce works that reflect his own interests in environmental issues.
