My main sculptural medium is lead. Since 2004 I have started to weld the lead together. Before this I only used lead as single sheets. The use of welding has given me a new direction  as it enables me to wrap objects, which are truly three-dimensional. I have begun a series of works using sections of tree as a starting point. My aim is to bring the natural and the man made closer together to a point where it is not clear what you are looking at is a man made object or a natural one.  The section of tree is carefully selected and where the cuts are made is an essential part of the work.

In 2005 I made a piece of living sculpture in the Landscape called ‘Point of Resolution see my selected CV for a link to it
