Statement:
Born in Paris I have traveled widely working and exhibiting in Canada, USA, Europe, London, and the South East and South West. Recently moved Dumfries Scotland.
I work directly from the figure with a variety of clays but mostly stoneware. I build up the sculpture using clay slabs and modelling the clay as I go, sometimes I also use a mould of a previous piece to get the basic form. None of my work is from life casts it is all hand modeled as I am interested in the craft of interpreting the figure in my own way not in copying it. My work is then either fired or cast into bronze or resin.
I am currently in the process of exploring new materials and making methods. I am very open to working with different materials. Recently I have designed a glass panel for a bathroom in a bridal sweet and I have also worked with Architects, interior designers and schools in the past.
As well as being a full time sculptor, I run 6 weekend workshops a year working from the model in clay. This is an informal class studying a life model, each student working at their own pace, class sizes between 8 and 12 students.
I see the human form as the interface between the mental, emotional and spiritual internal processes and the manifestation of these processes in the outer world. The human form is a completely expressive, powerful and beautiful vehicle by which I am impelled and inspired.
Human form in sculpture has a very immediate relationship with its audience who respond in a physical and emotional way by sensing its presence, its tactile qualities, the way light moves over the form and then all the personal experiences that a movement, form or facial expression will resonate with.
Sculpture has a three dimensional sensual presence that occupies space in the same way as the human body it is therefore an honest and absolute way of expressing the human form.
Human beings have been representing the human form in sculpture for thousands of years; it is recognizable to all of us in its most simple expression. Therefore there are endless possibilities in how it is depicted giving a lot of freedom to artists to really plumb the depths of this fascinating subject. And nothing can be more fascinating to us than humankind or ultimately ourselves.
