My work is about the considering of materials that are seemingly at odds with each other:

Between the organic and the inorganic

Between the Natural and the Man-made

I want you to touch this sculpture; stroke the hard, spiny nylon hairs - then gently rub the smoothed Cotswold stone 'seed'. The two sensations are quite different. They reflect two camps perceived to be philosophically and practically exclusive of each other. I deliberately juxtapose materials in which their enforced co-existence constitutes a reference for an understanding for a more mediated approach to their wider usage. My thinking is that they should have an interpretation beyond the initial presumption of their incompatibility - where none of the materials are presumed to be of lesser or greater significance than the other.
