“Rock is the material backbone to my creative explorations and the conceptual focus of my sculptures. Over the years my physical involvement with rock has become increasingly minimal as I combine this most traditional of sculpting materials with more contemporary and technically challenging ones such as clear cast resin, cast stainless steel, mirrors and photography.”
