I am a sculptor
and this website is an introduction to
my current and past work. It includes recent abstract relief sculptures
made in Italy, figurative work made in my Gloucestershire studio
and examples of commissioned work.
I am a ‘Clay man’
and have been modelling, moulding and baking clay professionally
since 1972. My early work was full of humour and fantasy and influential
in the emergence of figurative ceramics in the 1970s. As my modelling
skills developed and with the influence of frequent trips to India
my work became more poetical and surreal.
In recent years I have specialised in bas relief, which is part
sculpture and part picturemaking. This has born fruit in the current
work which is unlike anything that I’ve done before.
I am as excited by these brightly coloured abstract forms as when
I first discovered clay 35 years ago.
I have varied and extensive teaching experience and am available
to teach privately and institutionally. I can also offer a variety
of interesting slide shows and workshops.
