'Abstract I', Art and Life series Sculpture

******My art is an ongoing personal evolution and 'journey'; a conversation and relationship with the world. Through images, words and ideas, often spontaneous and intuitive, it is their gradual realisation on paper, or through 'making', by which I 'research' and find new knowledge ... ******I work/have worked with a variety of materials and processes; photography, paper, book arts and the written word, glass, and built sculpture, natural or recycled materials. Often I work with 'lines', metaphorical and real. ******For my 'Glass and Light' series, I have revisited earlier work, particularly of the Australian 'Sculpture by the Sea' 2013/14 exhibitions. I re-question the personal and wider meaning in each artwork. *****My photography, 'Real/Unreal' series, 'Dynamic Earth' series, 'Opus Magnum' series, is about world beaches visited, their visual 'outer' landscapes, and their 'inner' microscopic awe-inspiring sand grains; it is about ways of perceiving; large to small, outer to inner, inner to outer. There can be a 'spirituality', and 'Eden', found in the natural world; this needs to include both the 'light' and 'dark', and acknowledge potential idealism. *******I hope that my work stirs questions and gently widens perspectives and sensibilities. *******For 'bread and butter' I currently work at the Britten Pears Arts (charity) Snape Maltings Concert Hall and music campus site, on the banks of the Alde Estuary, in a non arts capacity, but absorbing the creative vibes. Also at the Aldeburgh Cinema Trust box office. *******I have a small secondhand and new bookselling unit in a shared shop in Hay on Wye, at Clock Tower Books. Books have always inspired :) *******Please note: My photographic and 2D artwork is available to buy here as open edition prints on photo paper at small size.
