I am an artist maker with an innate curiosity, a desire to learn and a will to experiment one who works primarily with willow and steel fabricating one off installations and sculptures for events and public spaces and individual pieces crafted in response to landscape and natural and handmade forms. Of these materials willow came into my practice initially through community arts lantern parades, lantern making led onto an exploration of traditional weaving techniques. This exploration initially took the form of simple large scale willow fire sculptures which developed in complexity combining willow and steel for strength and structural form to produce transient and semi-permanent figurative and freeform sculptural works. The weaving process has evolved from the use of traditional weaves to define shape to using the willow rods to define form in a flowing stylised or random weave. A process exploring landscape with site specific willow structures woven from the ground in situ on hill moor or shore left to decay or be washed away. Fire and water, steel is hot works, the fabrication process is similar to lantern making, though cool willow is substituted for steel bar, hand bent and welded to form steel frames to be woven in willow or skinned for lanterns and outdoor event installations.
