This sculpture is inspired by the beauty of my local beech woodland. The woods follow the Cotswold hills escarpment that nestle the town of Dursley. Primarily the woodlands consists of ancient Beech fringed by many other species. This piece includes 5 species, Oak, hazel, ash, cherry and beech. Each tree type was chosen to share a characteristic common to all and yet, also reflect some common infinitely different forms, ever present and ever changing. To emphasise the point the bark has been stripped to the cambium of each component, thus, emotionally it's rather like looking at a group of people without clothes, the lack of embellishment emphasises the surface form.

Born in Yorkshire in 1947. Travel has greatly influenced my outlook, interests, style and techniques. My background includes experience of furniture making, engineering and technology. My early working life included building timber houses in Denmark. As a young adult I went to university and became a teacher of Art, Technology and Art History teaching at Clifton College Bristol, Shebbear College Devon and the Royal School Bath where Was appointed head of Art, Design and Technology. Being interested in community projects I became Co founder of the St Pauls Carnival Bristol and the Sofa Project. Currently I live and work in Dursley England. In addition to developing my creativity I founded a local Art History group. Just completed a large community project which is being exhibited at a local church here in Dursley specially for Easter. It's called 'Everything is connected to everything.'
