Unity Sculpture

Originally created for Kidwelly Castle a unique and unforgiving site for art easily able to eclipse any work you bring to it. The architecture is designed to repel and speaks of another time another reality and a violence and raw power in an overt and domineering way that is uncomfortable when set against contemporary culture. It is uncomfortable in its clarity and its violence and it is perhaps because of that, it resonates more closely with the world we live in than we would like. I am fascinated by this space and the questions it asks of the invading artist. In my case I have resisted the temptation toward bold machismo and decided to explore the filigree delicate potential of bronze in exploring the structures and resilience of natural forms that endure long after the mighty have fallen' constructs that could be subsumed or re-merge in a different form still intact undeterred unbroken. I have been looking at the deceptive inner strength of delicate components the vulnerability of Princess Gwenllian and the way wounds, shadows, residues and absences make their mark in the word and shape our responses to it. I am inspired by the sensual experience of nature and the sprit of humanity. The ancient ties that bind, feed my imagination for making art. I make, un-make, and re-make. I find this leads me to a deep connection to humanity and nature. Through this awareness I hope to express our fragile existence. I usually begin a piece by drawing and playing with materials. I select materials that have meaning to my idea. I love modelling in wax, its smell, its flow and mutably and the gathering of fallen branches from the forest. Giving shape and form in the studio is labour intensive, as is the casting process. Mould making, molten metal, chasing and welding complete a full circle of activity. The creative process transforms me. Making art touches my heart. When I am creating everything else falls away. There is no sense of time.
