BIG SUR Black
£360.00Custom pigmented , translucent polyester resin edition 4/10.
This piece was originally carved in California from Nephrite Jade which is known as “Big Sur Jade” hence the name .
All of my work is inspired by forms found in nature but then controlled by design and Big Sur took shape based on these principles.
I always work with the material and any anomalies it throws up, so often the decisions don’t feel like mine at all!.

FRAGMENT III – Glass Green polished resin
£1,100.00Custom pigmented , translucent polyester resin – Unique piece .
This is one of series of unique pieces cast using just a part of a larger form mould. I love the idea of seeing details in isolation and possibly in a new orientation.
We all get used to seeing things in a certain way and can actually stop looking or appreciating a form, a line or a curve.
This process has enabled me to reimagine and reengage with existing work, celebrating different areas of a form with different light transmissions created by new endings or edges.

POISED – Black polished limestone concrete
£750.00Custom pigmented, polished limestone concrete Edition 1/10
This form started by carving a  detail from another carving on a larger scale. It quickly took on it’s own life and the reference to the original piece stopped . All it takes is for one curve meeting one edge  and the conversation has begun… its seriously feels  like the decisions are not mine , it comes from the material and  its idiosyncrasies, its limitations , its colours , textures  and all its foibles . There is nothing more joyful to me than being ‘in the zone’ and just doing what I’m told … really that’s how it feels that  I’m simply doing what must be doneD:9.5 x W:15 x H:14.5cmQuick View -
