ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This contemporary sculpture enhances the space it inhabits by reflecting the world around it and reacting to new weather conditions with a variety of different movements. The mesmerising and enchanting nature of its rotational flow makes it fascinating and inspiring to watch, as it appears to dance and play in its natural environment. Many years of experience in designing and creating kinetic wind sculptures means I have been able to develop pieces that move effortlessly in the lightest of winds, and do not build up energy in strong weather conditions. The development of this piece took nine months, and involved working with a variety of specialists; it is engineered to US and UK wind loading standards.

The kinetic wind sculptures that I create bring to life the hidden forces surrounding us in an ever-changing dance. In such a complex world it is more important than ever to feel connected to, and understand, the environment we inhabit. The sculptures glint in the sun as they move, reflecting the beauty of our shared world and bringing a spark of joy to their surroundings. My love of paragliding has given me a deep understanding of weather and wind flow, which combined with my background in engineering, has made the progression from static to kinetic sculptures a natural one. For me, play is both an important part of my life, and a crucial element in learning to understand the physics of the world. Using experimentation to explore fluid dynamics, hidden forces, and patterns in nature allows me to better understand their interactions. This exploration directly informs my understanding of how to create kinetic sculptures that move consistently, in varying patterns, in even the lightest of winds. This play continues throughout each sculpture’s development, with computer modelling, and with actual models tested in the wind. Using stainless steel and Corten metal I’m able to create intricate, large scale pieces of contemporary art for installation in public spaces, private gardens, and sculpture exhibitions. I work with a variety of specialists where required and have completed outdoor sculpture commissions for universities, schools, and galleries. These sculptures have a worldwide audience, and alongside UK work I have completed several international commissions. I endeavor to bring to life the hidden forces of nature, showing off the beauty of mathematics and science interacting with the environment, whilst connecting people with their surroundings.
