Bio
I'm a self-taught fabricator and kinetic sculptor based in Andover, Hampshire. I work from my garden shed, blending my manufacturing background with creative passion for meticulous, detail driven designs. My medium is welded stainless steel, chosen for its durability, resilience, and ability to endure weather while retaining beauty over time. My kinetic sculptures shine when still but truly come alive in wind and sunlight. Gentle breezes create dynamic motion, casting evolving shadows and reflections that transform them into interactive, living pieces. I aim to spark wonder and curiosity, inviting viewers to explore art's dialogue with nature, the beauty of movement, and life's fleeting qualities. Through constant experimentation with designs and mechanisms, I push kinetic art's boundaries, creating enduring works that enhance spaces, inspire reflection, and connect people to craft and the natural world.
