I like to sculpt and make 3-dimensional objects, I always have. 

Art that occupies volume within space is amazing.  As you journey around the object you experience it in a way that is unique to you; things like your height, your depth perception, and the way the light falls, all contribute to how you perceive it.  

Through a  variety of sculpting techniques, I use the softness of shapes and the harshness of lines to capture a moment in time.  Whether it be traditional clay sculpting and casting or the progressive modern experience of sculpting in virtual reality and printing,  my final goal is to make a piece of art that the viewer will want to explore with their eyes and fight the urge to reach out and touch with their hands.
​
​I grew up on 70's and 80's TV shows and Movies, where everything was "practical", not a CGI shot to be seen.
How can I do that? I wondered.

I went to Art College to figure things out and after 2 years of drawing, painting, and sculpting I decided "making" is what I was good at so went to another college to study Model Making and Design.  
​

While there I built up my portfolio and got freelance work building props and models for TV commercials, stage shows, exhibitions and the like. 

​I still work in the movie and TV industry, but now in computer animation. In my spare time, I continue to make "physical" things, here's a list of some of the things I've made over the years:
  • Funny puppets, scary puppets, stop motion puppets, animatronic puppets.
  • Drones, designing and building before it was cool.
  • The insides of chickens in the form of armatures for the movie Chicken Run.
  • Martins, both big and small for the movie Mars Attacks.  
  • Bass Guitars, weird sculptures, and 3D paintings.  
  • Movie sets, stage sets, and exhibitions. 
  • I've sculpted more Chevron cars than I have fingers for the Chevron with Techron.
  • A monk that watches you as you walk past, that was to sell phones?
  • Oh and a flying Delorean...
