A quick seed pod try-out in super soft Bath stone.









Visual Influences & Artists


The Costa Rican born - Mexican artist Francisco Zuniga was I think the first artist I took note of at art college. We had a trip down to London from Wolverhampton Polytechnic to the Haywood Gallery to see an exhibition of Mexican art.


I had the opportunity to go for 2x months with a group of artists to Mexico City in 1994. I spent the last of my money just before returning on a huge, silk bound monograph book on Zuniga. This is my favorite piece.

   My favorite carving of all time. This piece really sums me up as a carver and artist. I love it.

A quick clay maquette was made.


I'm enjoying recycling old carvings

New Work


I've been looking at the Lady's Slipper Orchid recently. It's sufficiently bulbous for my needs.
