Working with both hand and digital skills, I begin my creative process with physical sketches, concept paper and cardboard maquettes, developing these further digitally through to the creation of large-scale texturised settings. My figures, sitting amongst these settings, evolve from hand sketches, sculpting in clay and wax and traditional casting methods.
I use concept sketches to inform the development of handmade models. These concepts explore different settings with linked themes of how the visiting public can be offered an invitation to participate and engage within the sculptural spaces.
My making methods involve testing concepts with paper models.
