I am a Leeds-based artist whose work is situated in the realms of contemporary sculpture and installation. Having grown up on the nature reserve of Rye Harbour, East Sussex, I find my sculpture practise to be stimulated by organic forms and textures found when surrounding myself in nature. I combine an intuitive creation of organic texture and shape, with my fascination for artificial colour. I seek to make a surreal aesthetic that I feel transcends reality.
I find myself drawn to sculpture processes like plaster and ceramics, after previously attempting to extend the boundaries of painting with sculpture. I now lose all former restraints by abandoning the structure and limitations of the canvas, with an exploratory sculpture practice that extends to larger installation works.
Through installation I investigate the designing of spaces, creating surreal environments. I create giant sculptures where the viewer is invited to sit in the work, considering audience interaction by invigorate the bodily senses though sensory exploration with visuals and sound. The audience is encouraged to perform a meditative listening practice inside, to extend their looking period and allow full immersion in their surroundings.
