Artist Statement:

My work is created in a variety of materials; tin lids, balls, number plates and street signs to name a few. Often my work is classified within Found Object although I feel this only goes part way in describing the origins of the materials I work. Some are not lost they may be deliberately discarded, given, brought or stolen. They may even be stolen, discarded and found.
In acquiring material I have no intention of crossing any moral divide, I'm not motivated by profit nor do I involve exploitation rather it indicates the level of dedication I have to working materials that signify a trace of the environment and culture I find myself in.
