“Ideas appear suddenly in the act of searching. It is important to notice the potential of chance encounters and phenomena that we experience on a daily basis. This work begins with flat material which is then modelled in to a 3 dimensional form, this being the simplest method of modelling it can thus be applied to almost any form. My theme is the body from human to animal, from the wings of the condor to the posture of a dog. Rather than an exact replication of the body a form is created based on the relationship between the experience of reality and the flat surface of the material. This thus creates a NEW form that encapsulates the experience of reality and the way we perceive the body.”
