My work is quite diverse and I work in several different media including bronze, cor-ten steel, oak and mosaic. The theme that links this diversity is nature; from landscape inspired smaller pieces to large forms based on microscopic natural forms such as embryos and pollen grains. I enjoy exploring large elements in miniature and miniature elements on a large scale. I am also interested in the repeated forms that are found in nature and the inner structure of natural elements.
