Sanderson draws upon his experiences of the natural world. He delights in the simple beauty of a common water worn grey pebble, with no signs of organic life or particular value. Another day he will focus upon the habit of trillions of life forms only visible by microscope but are vital to the support of all other global life such as the existence of diatoms and radiolarians.
His engagement by trusts, scientific bodies, charities and education establishments have led to investigations into subjects such as protein crystals, magnetism, flight, blood flow, and time. His many works are therefore distributed widely and are often very different in character and scale. Although a specialist in metal forming, he has a broad background in craft with education in fine art, design, fashion, silver-smithing, foundry and forge. He is a often a site-specific artist, engaged to design to a criteria, timescale and range of budgets that has led to collaborations in Art and Engineering across the world on the scales from football sized to full scale buildings for over 30 years. But he also has pleasure creating pieces as individual pieces for private homes and gardens.
