The sense of movement and dynamics
within sculpture provides it with life and vitality and whilst remaining
true to the use of simple, raw materials, my aim is to capture this.
The contrasting and concurrent methods I am using provide different
challenges due to the nature of the materials and their own
restrictions. I am exploring the use of layers, light reflection with
hard or textured edges to create a sense of fluidity.
My
'Blown Away' series, highlighted by 'You blew Me Away' is in response
to the strong emotions that affect us all at key points in our lives,
the physical impact they have on our bodies and the influence external
or environmental forces whilst in this state. I am currently
constructing a further three within this series, 'Resilience' focusing
our own unexpected strength in difficult times enabling us to remain
constant and true, 'From me to You' showing the deep and direct
connection between our inner selves and finally 'Information overload'
conveying the effects of the constant bombardment of information in our
daily lives.

The
bronze dance figures express organic forms as tensile elements and are
inspired by the dynamic forms of contemporary dancers. By using
flexible, sinuous materials to create the original model, the dancers
raw and exposed movement is conveyed and by leaving out a lot of mass
within the sculpture and exposing wires outside of the main form, a
vision of movement is created - where the limb may have been or the
extremes of a dancer’s movement contained within that pose.
