My recent work moves between sculptural wall pieces, lighting, functional and wearable objects. Leather remains an important material, often combined with felt, wool, textiles, paper clay, copper,brass and other found or upcycled elements. I am interested in what happens when materials with visible histories are given a new context rather than being made perfectly uniform. Scratches, ageing, rough edges and patina are not problems to conceal; they are part of the character of the work. The forms are often intuitive and tactile. I tend to follow the material, its curves, resistance and imperfections, rather than beginning from a fixed idea of what an object should be.
