My current practice is centred around the production of large-scale permanent sculpture, mainly through the “percent-for-art” schemes connected with public works. The sculpture is generally in fabricated or cast Bronze or Stainless Steel, involving a lot of time and hands-on physical crafting of the materials. Normally I would work towards a pre-destined, pre-agreed end product, but I intend during my research to explore the tangential offshoots and possibilities that I usually have to bypass. I also intend to explore areas of art that are totally new to me and to find their relevance to my art practice.

More specifically I will experiment with incorporating elements of movement, sound and humour in evolving work with references to music dance and literature. At this point my main interest is in developing Kinetic machines that produce musical noise within a thematic framework. I would also like to think that there are unforeseen possibilities that research will reveal and develop. I look forward to the opportunity that the course offers to collaborate with like-minded people involved in different fields.
