SCULPTURAL WORKS

Every piece of timber has something to say. My job is to listen.

Sculptural Works are where those conversations become stories.

I work with driftwood and reclaimed timber found along the shores and paths that I have walked for decades, many pieces of timber have moved thousands of km's with me over the years and still they are waiting for their story to be told.

Each piece waits patiently for what it is going to become - a manta ray rising through a breaking wave, a turtle navigating ancient waters, a moment of grief or love or memory made physical and permanent.

These pieces are painted and finished by hand. Unlike my natural timber sculptures where I let the wood speak in its own colour and grain, the sculptural works call for more life - to shine.

Colour that deepens the story or evokes movement, a finish that draws the eye, detail that asks you to look closer and then closer again.

The intention is always the same: to make something that moves you. Not decorates a room. Not fills a space. Moves you. Stops you mid-step and makes you feel something you didn't expect to feel when you walked past.

Every piece is one of a kind. Every piece began as something found. What it became is entirely its own.
