My life-long fascination with the underwater world has led me to some wonderful places, from icy rivers in northern Scotland to the reefs around small tropical atolls in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
The tension between the strange, fragile lifeforms that I saw there and the huge forces of flood, tide and current that surround them is the starting point for my sculpture.
In these works, I aim to reflect the structural strength and resilience of these small marine creatures by capturing their natural biological forms in steel. As a result, each piece keeps to the spirit of a hard-edged industrial object, even while describing the essentially soft, biomorphic structure of a living organism.
