Since 1997 all my sculptures have been inspired by a fascination with organic shapes in their simplest forms – fractals of nature. Twigs – fragile, precious, shaped by the elements. Delicately carved, the revealed forms are translated on a magnified scale and immortalised in bronze, steel or stone – a stark contrast to their fragile nature.
I search specifically for fractals in nature that depict an abstract figurative form as it gives each sculpture of mine a unique duality. On the one hand they are magnified reproductions of fragile organic shapes, while at the same time they expose these very expressive human figures… I love that my sculptures allow people to see fragments of nature, as works of art.
