Artist’s Statement
I draw a story on the stone and dig till it comes through -some stone has a shape that almost forces the subject though. Nature feels serene to me and contrasts starkly with work in tech. I see carving as mindfulness and meditation combined in one act - for me it brings peace and I like my carvings to convey that too.
Biography
Local self taught carver but passionate and prolific.
Influences
I've always had a love for South American sculptors like José Luis Cuevas and João Turin which captivated me when living there. Subject matter wise my love of my country brings me back to artists like May Gibbs.
