Work With Text

I am interested in working with text in a sculptural way – considering letters as things.

Also, in the way that concrete poetry is alert to the whole context of communication – layout, typeface, size of font, colour etc – in conveying meaning, so in this selection of work, each element in a commission (material, scale, layout, context, siting, choice of text, letterform etc) seeks to be a contributory part of the meaning of what gets made.

This work has all been commissioned, apart from two pieces made for group exhibitions. ‘In Sun’ was sold at the private view; ‘Stone Memory’ is in the permanent collection at Grimsthorpe Castle, together with an earlier standing stone.
