Artist Statement
The work is inspired by historical and contemporary architecture. It is made from cast and coloured concrete that has ceramic involved sometimes. The work is minimalist with abstract geometric qualities. Interested in particular areas were the architecture can be admired from different view points. Noticing original forms, helps to create work that has direct link with concrete.
The work is minimalist in nature, but it still communicates with us. Reinhardt summed minimalism up by stating, ‘The more stuff in it, the busier the work of art, the worse it is. More or less, less is more.’
Attention to material, colour, form and precision, how they connect and link together. Admiring preciseness to an extent is important. The work should not look as if were machine made. Too much precision removes character from a sculpture. Enjoy the connection my hands have with the concrete.
My intention is to engage the viewer, producing awe with the sculptures through their weight, simple beauty and architectural link.
