SpringTide Wave #2 Sculpture

Inspired by my home in the South West of England, I am currently developing my range of art from my studio in Brixham, Devon. I spend time gaining influence from the surroundings and looking in close detail or photographing patterns and close-ups before returning to the studio and setting to work.  I like to cause the viewer to stop and spend time with the piece, looking at it from different angles, wanting to touch it or seeing the colours change depending on the light at the time of day - sharing some of the experiences I have gone through in creating and that I took influence from. Texture, colour and layers are all important to my view of the world which I present in abstract or expressionistic form. The use of gold or metal leaf in my art is to symbolise the value and importance of aspects within the piece, as well as for it's unique quality of adding reflective elements and bringing life to the image.
