‘I love the process of making. I really enjoy touching and shaping natural materials and through the making of my work with my own hands, I tell the many stories of trees and soil and how we are part of the whole of the living world. I’m using wood and clay to temporarily shape them to my ideas and instill them with my obsessions. Anything can make its way into the amalgam of my intuitive, organically evolving,
idiosyncratic visual language; from fragments of shapes, contours of manufactured objects and personal fascinations to references to literature, oral history, art and design. By expanding my practice outside the studio with my Thinking Forest Foundation, I’m deliberately forging connections with other makers, thinkers and with trees.’
