I am a sculptor and environmental artist whose main interest is in Art in Public Places.  I have worked throughout the U.K. as well as widely overseas in both urban and rural landscapes, indoors and outdoors and have made sculptures which have been both permanent and temporary. My sculpture is site specific in that it relates totally to the site taking into consideration the architecture, the landscape, the history, economy or mythology of the area.  I use a wide variety of materials relevant to the project – wood, stone, bricks, steel, bronze, planting, rope, sand, water, glass, light, plastics, even feathers, silk flowers and drinks cans, some video, etc. and enjoy working on both large and small scale.

I have taken part in many “Art in Nature” Symposia – including one in 2001 with Yatoo in Gonjiu, as well as in the UK, France several times, The Netherlands, Italy, Australia several times, New Zealand, Israel, and soon one in Germany with a dead olive tree. Several of my permanent land art projects in the UK are large scale and can be seen on Google Earth as they are so big.

I am an artist-in-residence in a working quarry near where I live using the materials of the quarry in a variety of ways – for experimentation and also for permanent projects using stone.
