I have developed a foundry technique of exploring molten metal as a free form process in it's own right. Such a medium gives me no choice but to work quickly & intuitively, as the moment the liquid leaves the crucible it quickly begins to solidify.

There is only a certain amount of control I can hope to gain over this mesmerizing  silvery medium.  Its intense heat, the roar of the furnace, the pounding of my heart, adds to the    often unpredictable but totally captivating & exciting experience of creating this sculpture.

By salvaging & recycling metals I am developing a visual vocabulary which flows between abstract, figurative & botanical forms that compose a dialogue commenting on sustainability from a creative viewpoint, within  an emotional & environmental context.
