“I see my art as an adventurous journey, one which seeks to explore the old to discover the new. A lifelong passion for ancient artefacts and past landscapes has expressed itself in archaeological research of the area and led to my discovery of the earliest known copper/bronze working site in Great Britain dated to the Bronze Age (1580BC). This site represents the beginnings of a British bronze casting tradition which I still use and continue to develop in my own work.”
