Artistic statement
My sculpture is at present engaged with the natural world in motion, seeds are flying, roots are emerging, leaves are curling, molecules are floating. It is in essence a homage to the natural world and the irrepressible forces throughout nature.
Through my sculpture it is my intention to hint at intangible ideas, evoke a sense of wonder, grasp at fleeting memories, our relationship with nature , our place in the world and the inarguable fact that we are not the ones in charge.
Recently I have become facinated by the work of George Rickey, an American Kinetic artist, through the use of compound pendulums and ball bearings he produced some truly amazing wind powered sculptures. I will have a kinetic piece ready for the Chelsea Flower Show, have a look at the prototype short video I've posted.
