About The Artwork
When working on my sculptured heads I start off by modelling a fairly normal face and then when happy with the result accidentally on purpose drop it on a flat surface and thats how they get to look the way they do. This method grew out of frustration being unable achieve a result as a portrait I threw it on the floor in disgust but then on retrieving this lump of clay I was delighted with what I saw. I do feel that these interesting heads belong in modern decor. In everyone's life there are times when they would like to be "Looking Through" an imaginary piece of glass, at something on the other side.The glass isn't visible, but it acts as a barrier preventing them from reaching whatever it is they want. Maybe a different direction in life! What are you looking through at? Could one of these heads be looking for the same thing!

South Africa
Many years ago way back in my youth I was introduced to three dimensional form while working as a display artist. Given the job of carving clouds from a block of polystyrene I nervously cut away one small piece after another and at that moment I felt a welling up of excitement and immediately new that sculpture was to be my forte. Some years later I discovered clay and loved its plasticity. I enjoy working with the human form and spend many hours observing people, the way they move and look. Different expressions on their faces fascinate me so observing them I record this sometimes mentally and other-times by sketching. I work with incomplete sculptured bodies allowing the viewers imagination to fill in the missing pieces I was born in Birmingham England in 1943. My family emmigrated to South Africa in 1948. I was fortunate to have developed my creative abilities from an early age under the guidance of my father who was a lecturer at the London Academy of Arts and Crafts.
