Artist Statement

I use high-tech fabrication techniques to make permanent sculptures and three dimensional photographic objects for public spaces. The materials are robust but they are manipulated to play with light, to create effects that are delicate and subtle. They are always designed for their locations, from the Falls Road in Belfast, to the seafront on Brighton. I work with engineers, architects and material specialists to make sure the work is structurally sound, well integrated into the location and well made.
