I work on individual pieces which are either my own projects or commissioned work. My sculptures are exclusively of a fugurative nature, often involving characters and animals from mythology or cosmological emblems.

I use local brick shale which is a coarse open clay that fires to a warm terracotta. As it is used to make bricks, it has good weatherability and is an excellent medium for sculptures intended for outside display.
