Snow Angel Sculpture

Date of Birth 8th Feb 1963To begin with I model a Perfect Form in clay or earth. I consider Space, Negative Space, Weight, Balance, Light, Tone, Scale and Proportion; and then I make a mould, normally out of silicon rubber.Once I have the mould I start to add Layers of meaning, by Warping the mould, by the materials I choose to cast the positive in, or the number I produce.I continue to add meaning by bringing together different casts, I see this as a form of Drawing, juxtaposing differing casts to develop a narrative.Once the structure is complete I decorate the surface using a variety of mark making techniques.The final narrative, I believe, is the dialogue between the underlying structure and the superficial decoration.This process allows me to explore a range of contemporary discourses.
