Statement:
My work takes me from public commission, time-based installation and gallery exhibition to woodland workshops. I work with all natural materials: drystone, water, glacial boulders, wood, living willow, hedgerow cuttings, straw and paper maiche to create site-specific commissions, baskets, containers and smaller works. In each, I try to distill the essence of a place into the work, so that each becomes a small environment in its own right.
