O W L

My main medium is wire, which I began to use many years ago as a way of liberating the drawn line into free space. Having worked two dimensionally with the material for some time, I am now far more sculptural and three-dimensional. However, ultimately all my language has its roots in drawing and I aim to maintain the sense of freedom of the drawn line in my sculptures. Drawing is the visual artist's answer to singing. Themes that are recurrent include, man as natural being and our relationship to the natural world.

I also am inspired by storytelling and mythology often creating my own visual narrative. My latest pieces have a links to circus and writers or readers. I am also enjoying writing in wire either just a word, a line or whole sections of poetry or prose. I have started experimenting with mixing media including wood and ceramic. Originally, I studied illustration and although I love its language, I soon reacted to the restrictions of the business and started to make work for exhibiting.
